The majority of parents who have moved their girls there are doing it for their own convenience because they already have sons there or if their girls are not up to the pace at st.augustines.<br />St.benedicts takes any type of girl, they just want as many girls as they can get. They tend to be girls who have been refused a place at Notting hill or st.augustines. Certainly the girls in my sons class are not especially bright. I know for a fact that some girls were taken out of st.augustines not because their parents preferred st.benedicts, it was because they were bullies and their behaviour alienated them and their parents at st.augustines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202135348193859.post-69095041677505177332011-10-10T11:00:18.962+01:002011-10-10T11:00:18.962+01:00Can't wait for the New Year.
