They knocked my school down years ago; it’s still a desolate wasteland. Probably some decent wildlife in the wild grasses which have overgrown it.

what’s the diff between a state school and a comprehensive?

My sceondary school was an all boys comp. It’s apparently now an academy. Tim Peake is an old student apparently

Well, to my pretty sketchy knowledge…I thought state schools existed in the catchment areas of grammar schools…whereas comprehensives were found in non-grammar areas? Put me straight if I’m wrong…in fact I’m sure it is because kids I knew had a choice between state schools and comps. Pretty sure there IS a difference though.

They can have more flexibility over the syllabus. Can pick and choose the subjects they offer according to my TV. Also directly funded by government
