gender split Pates
Does anyone know if Pates take the top 120 candidates or the top 60 girls and top 60 boys. If the former does this mean the gender split is skewed?
at our school, one boy and two girls have got Pate's and one of each on the waiting list. So, although it's highly unrepresentative, I'd say it was pretty even, or ... you could say one third boys to two thirds girls!
Last year I think 3 or 4 boys qualified (2 from the off, 3 on the waiting list) and one girl got in (none on waiting list). The year before 2 boys, 1 girl. In the village it's predominantly boys who go. Maybe we just have more boys. It's an interesting question, though.

I know quite a few people with children there and none of them has had a bad thing to say yet. Of course, now that it's actually relevant to me I'm going to listen to their conversation about it a little more avidly.
