Actually pupil numbers in private schools have dropped as parents struggle to pay school fees.

In some ways your arguments against private/public schools are nonsensical. Parents who send their children to establishments outside of the state system still pay taxes to fund state education. For every extra pupil that attends a state school means use of more public resources and less available for existing state school pupils.

And the GCSE results stood at 40% in 2008, with only 13% gaining a language GCSE.

Not sure that's worth moving to Dagenham for.

May be OK if you've got naughty kids who aren't interested in schoolwork, though.
