  Examinations Appeal Board - Merchant Taylors' School
The School said that its confidence in OCR had been eroded by the extraordinary mistakes with the original marking of unit 2480, by insulting comments written on scripts by the initial examiner and then by the way the scripts had been re-marked.
The photocopy of the script sent to the School had been of such poor quality that the mechanism for arriving at the original and the re-mark totals were impossible to understand.
For example, the School had referred in its papers to a telephone conversation with an OCR employee, its understanding of which was at odds with the written account of events which it received some two months later.

Though the terms "independent school" and "private school" are often synonyms in popular usage in the U.S. and in Canada, independent schools themselves have come to favor the term "independent school".
International schools are schools that cater mainly to children who are not nationals of the host country, often the children of the staff of international businesses, international organizations, embassies, missions, or missionary programs.

 The Edmund Spenser Home Page: Biography
As a boy, the future poet entered the Merchant Taylors' school, probably at its opening in 1561 under the celebrated humanist and pedagogical writer Richard Mulcaster; his place there may have been secured by the patronage of one Nicholas Spenser, the warden of the Taylors' Company at the time and possibly a relation.
While at the school, Spenser was supported at least in part by the generous bequest of Robert Nowell, brother of Alexander Nowell, dean at St. Paul's.
Milton was later to claim Spenser as 'a better teacher than Aquinas', and generations of readers, students, and scholars have admired him for his subtle use of language, his unbounded imagination, his immense classical and religious learning, his keen understanding of moral and political philosophy, and his unerring ability to synthesize and, ultimately, to delight.
