Having a quiet Sat night so thought I would watch it on iplayer.

My only experience of education for myself and my children has been of the state variety and so it was really interesting to me.I found the "leaving scene" very moving and I am not sure I could do it, but I acknowledge that I am far too soppy and sentimental generally. :oops:
However the boys were lovely and a great advertisement for their school.They were sweet (Hugo esp), polite, motivated and charming. I could happily adopt several of them. :D It is a great shame that it takes 16,000 a year to entitle children to such an environment.
Overall though I felt the programme was quite positive in its reflection of the school.
