Demographics may be to blame for shortage of school places

March 11, 2010

Good to see some sensible commentary in The Times yesterday regarding the possible reason behind so many children not getting their first choice school. 

It seems that a change in demosgraphics may be to blame as opposed to a mass exodus from the private sector.

I’ve noticed over the last few years that the press generally take every opportunity to forecast the demise of the independent school sector.  You would have thought that by now they might have noticed the statistical evidence to the contrary!  But, as one of my favourite phrase goes, “never let the truth get in the way of a good story”!
