	Long live grammars \| Schools comment \| EducationGuardian.co.uk
		The simplest measure was devised by Jo Blandon and her colleagues at the London School of Economics.
		Clarke didn't mean that, anymore than another public school Labour minister, Tony Crosland (Highgate School, and Trinity College, Oxford) meant to give the private schools their greatest boost ever when he began the civil war in state education with the promise to 'destroy every fucking grammar school in England, Wales and Northern Ireland'.
		Although they don't want the grammar schools back, both know that this is a more class-ridden country than when the grammar schools were in place and I guess both know that unless the brightest in the working class get an elite education the Today listeners will always win.

		Rutlish was a resident of the parish of Merton and is buried in the churchyard of the parish church of St. Mary.
		Rutlish died in 1687 and left a bequest of 400 pounds (about £38,000 in 2006) for the education of poor children of the parish.
		Unusually, Rutlish pupils did not, as a matter of course, wear the school badge or their uniforms, instead house membership was identified by a multi-coloured "house braid" which was affixed to the top edges of blazer pockets.

		Having teachers into school who actually create an extra burden on you existing staff, because they lack the communication skills necessary to relate to the classes.
		Combined with the fact that we are personal, honest (about schools) and friendly means that teachers are keen to stick with us and our schools.
		We are in regular contact with our customer schools, we know what to tell our teachers about them and we can assess teachers more accurately by meeting them in school.

		A visitor to the school is struck by Eton's pungent combination of beauty and history that makes it seem, though it's in the middle of a small town, a world apart.
		Teachers are "beaks," the three school terms are called "halves," "wet bobs" are rowers, "tugs" are the 70 especially bright King's Scholars, who live together in a house called "College" on reduced fees, as stipulated by the school's founder, Henry VI.
		The school was founded to educate "poor scholars," and while existing programs to reach beyond its pool of mostly rich white boys have scored some results, Eton doesn't mirror the diversity of modern Britain.

	Raynes Park High School
		In order to start the school off with a three-form entry, two forms which were to be transferred to the new school were started at Rutlish, and a third form originated when the school actually opened.
		In December, Garrett was told by the County Council that the allowance for the school for the year 1936/37 was to be £4,531 and early in 1936 he applied to the Governors for an additional Master for the coming September, along with the extension to the buildings to the originally proposed capacity for 490 boys.
		The Raynes Park school song is a card of identity to be proud of, and it is far too important a work not to make the fullest use of in 1937 in spite of its obvious inadequacies for today.

	Top Fifty Whacking Schools in the UK
		Successive local government reorganisations, boundary changes, school renamings/mergers/closures, and changes in local political control or national education policy, combined with the lack of any centrally agreed terminology covering all schools, mean that the situation in detail is often more complicated than this.
		These (mostly church-run) schools are largely or wholly funded by the local education authority (and therefore count as fully part of the state system), but are not directly controlled by it and not necessarily subject to all its rules.
		VA schools are not to be confused with voluntary controlled (VC) schools, also mostly run by one of the churches but more directly controlled by the LEA and, for our purposes here, not materially any different from ordinary mainstream state schools.

		The move to using Schools really began in 1969 when The Wandsworth School and Nork Park County School joined the Merton Secondary Schools in providing ballboys.
		Although some of original schools still send boys and girls to Wimbledon many have changed their names or status as a result of reorganisation or amalgamation.
		For instance, Queens Secondary School Merton, the school which provided the captain of Centre Court in 1969, no longer exists, Wandsworth became John Archer and supplied ballboys until 1981, whereas Nork Park became part of The Beacon School, a school which continues to provide ball boys and girls today.

	UK school corporal punishment, Nov 1996 - CORPUN ARCHIVE uksc9611
		Mr Major's misery at Rutlish was such that he could not remember what the building looked like when he returned to the school in 1991 for a prizegiving.
		John Major was thrashed for failing to do his homework at Rutlish Grammar School, an experience which his teacher still thinks did him some good, but which also appears to have prejudiced the Prime Minister against corporal punishment in later life.
		Punishment which is not "inhuman or degrading" is still permitted in private schools, where generations of boys were flogged routinely as part of their training as "leaders of men".
