Queenie, you are right, there are many good secondary schools out there. The point is Kingsdale has been a very good school for a long while, yet when my child started (only a few years ago), the perception was unfairly negative. The school had to work hard to counter this perception, and the parents and children were quite determined to support the school, speaking at open days etc. It is a pity that you have felt that the school is targetting the middle classes only. But they were under represented for a long time. The school has always sought to achieve a balanced intake and and be a truly comprehensive school.

Sorry, that last message was supposed to be a reply to someone's question about the St. Thomas More (Edge)meeting. I don't seem to have got the hang of this yet.

The best bit was where someone said Harris was on a roll.
