Info on UK Boarding Schools & Summer Courses

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.

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.
