Does this mean that Wally girls will similarly change their test process? Or will it be the only one trying to test over 1,500 girls in a day?

Well, well, well. Best admissions draft I've read so far. Shame Tiffin schools haven't taken a leaf from Nonsuch.

And with a twist of social engineering thrown in. Given the theory that tutoring (and hence £££) is giving unfair advantage to those that can afford it such a measure seems reasonably logical. I assume they did some statistical analysis before coming up with the number 10.
