Saw a notice at Rimping yesterday which might interest parents here who are thinking of sending their children over to UK, either for boarding or a summer course - an evening presentation by representatives of four English schools, at Le Meridien Hotel on 19 Feb.

Details here

There's more info now on this. The schools are as follows, and will present on four subjects:

Dean Close School, Gloucestershire

"Pastoral Care and Extra Curricular Activities"

St. Edmund's College, Hertfordshire

"How to Choose a School"

Warminster School, Wiltshire

"A Levels and the IB Diploma"

Windermere School, Lake District

"Summer Courses"

Khun Ben Svasti the UK Hon Consul will launch proceedings - I hope they serve tea and scones!

I dont suppose todays Daily Mail story helps!!!

Just read an interesting article about uk boarding schools on the Guardian website. I don't have a link but give it a search. Quite shocking concentrates on the child abuse , peadophile teachers and the misery of boarding schools and damage they can do to children. Lots of prosecutions lined up in the courts from the victims. The next few years will be full of these horror stories as they receive media attention.
