Despite the smaller class sizes which are growing each year, the education is appalling.
This is also promoted as a charitable school, in classes where staff take advantage of this and purchase personal products through school expenses which i am personally paying for in my high school fees.
If i was ever going to have kids it would be state schooling any day compared to Thorpe Hall.
What really stood out for me is the way all the school staff from the headmaster to the care taker support and nurture pupils
We were very impressed and would highly recommend this school
It is with sheer incredulity that I view the current rating for I am unable, unequivocally, to reconcile it with my experience, not so long ago.
Rating 5 [or above] I, wholeheartedly, recommend this centre of educational excellence to other practitioners, parents and, of course, the young people who are or become the heart of the institution (an officially listed top 100 independent). From initial interview to final goodbyes, my brief Term of office was a highlight of my professional life: it's 5 [or above] :-)
Questions:
1) What does the educational award-winning author recommend - based on his hands on classroom experience?
2) Name the groups of people the recommendation is aimed at.
3) Can you discern the inferred rating figure?
4) Can you spot the metaphor in this reading?
5) What seems odd about both overall and review ratings (clue: hyperbole).
Self-proof read your answers for SPAG. How might you have done?
