    Ah good old Tony Benn! The same man who sent his son Hilary to Westminster Under School (preparatory school - present fees £4726 per term) before Holland Park 'Comprehensive' .

    Holland Park was one of the flagship comprehensives teaching both Russian and Spanish and was 'streamed' in the 60s when young Hilary went there.

    Unfortunately in the seventies a lunatic idealist Derek Rushworth took over as headteacher and started spouting about self esteem, equal learning environments and other edu-crap. Streaming was done away with and results plummeted Holland Park becoming another under-performing 'sink comp'.

    Over the past ten years it has managed to drag itself back up under a dynamic and transforming head. Streaming's back, results are up.

    I note on their current web-site, the school treats it as mainly or entirely a parental responsibility that pupils should be "well-spoken".

    I wonder how that would go down in Dover, innit????
