nah not for 6th form
we were gonna move there when i was in yr 6
i got a place there and all but moved somewhere else in the end
hence the dchs-ness =D
its further out of london than hbs
aah, i knew someone was copying my style
I failed all 11+ tests and entrance exams so I ended up in one of the worst state schools in London lol 
. It got closed down so I moved to a slightly better one but it's all ok now cos I go to a really good 6th form college. Parents didn't want me to go private (they couldn't afford it in the end) and I was a late bloomer. Still, at least I enjoyed beating up the posh gits from the private school nearby

I think a particular benefit is that you don't get the waster kids who disrupt lessons, get in the way, cause trouble etc. They generally don't go or are kicked out within a short time. I'm not saying those in private schools are well behaved, far from it, but they don't muck about so much in class and do things with intelligence and don't get caught as often.

I go to a state comprehensive, and they get better results than some of the private schools in the area. I'm sure if the secondary/grammar system existed in my area I would have liked to go to a grammar school at the time- but that system seems rather elitist to me. I think everyone gains a lot more in a comprehensive, even if, at pre-A level, there are 'wasters'!
State. Having been to state and grammar schools, and there was even a period where I was home schooled, I can easily say that my best education came from the state school. Though I do wish I'd had the oppotunity to go private ^^
Went to comprehensives for my entire life and it was crap, then went to a private school for A levels and it was awesome.
Always been at private and from since I was 11 I have been at boarding school, and I really enjoy it! x
A lot of priveleged people on TSR, it seems.
I hate private schools and everything they stand for.
State comprehensive myself.

Oh right, thanks 
So then what's the difference between a state and a grammar?
Is grammar a school you don't pay to go to, but have to pass a test to get into?

Unsurprising results; I'd like to see some national statistics for this actually, but google is just too far away.
