PRIVATE SCHOOLS OPT OUT
Released 21/08/2008
Schools look set to boycott league tables
Private schools look set to boycott A-level and GCSE league tables, according to several newspapers
Many private schools are angry about the ‘misleading' nature of the tables, claiming it is impossible to compare results accurately.
With a growing number of different qualifications on offer, it is worried that there is no longer a clear comparison between results.
The deputy head of the first school where all pupils have taken Baccalaureate described the situation as comparing "chalk with cheese".
"The reason we are pulling out of league tables is we are coming dangerously close to factory-farming children," Martin Stephen, high master of St Paul's, told the Times.
