I'm guessing none of them have an alternative plan to cut the backlogs do they?

Never eaten octopus and never planning to.

I understand your point - I didn't say that there were NO good teachers in the private sector - simply my experience says a lot of poor quality could be carried by the circumstances of a private school, hidden by 'nice' stuff like setting/uniform/sports.

The company concerned on brief scrutiny is less than two years old and already under pressure from companies house to report accurately and on time - and despite the name is in the business of licensed restaurants - so a takeaway then - one of Tice's favourite rants about 'illegals'.

I hear you...

Well there is that....

And at the risk of upsetting people - I later visited a significant number of private schools as clients - and in several of them teachers were found to be abusing children - to such an extent, that when discovered one hung himself in his garage after the police had asked to look at his hard drives.

Your child will make progress - because all children will do so naturally - but they'd do better in a good state school - where they'd get a more rounded preparation for life.

In a private school, your child will benefit from lower class sizes and probably nicer peers - but they'll be taught using commercial text books - by people who know as much as they can read in those text books as the lesson proceeds. Nice uniform and upper class sports.

I've said this before - in my nearly 20 years of state school teaching - colleagues who were unable to deliver and resigned - would sooner or later be found teaching in the local private schools. It's an easy gig for those with poor class management and lacking subject knowledge.

Brief search, shows the usual suspected behaviour. Global business interests, using Luxembourg HQ 🤔 and some alleged poor management/ safety practices 🙄. But really a non issue. The business interests are still where they were, he already manages his tax liabilities as his type do.
