‘State sector is elitist’ says head of £15k fees school
Classroom warfare broke out yesterday after a private school headmaster slammed critics of the posh institutions — and claimed state schools are more elitist.
Alun Jones launched his attack on “1970s class war” attitudes towards fee-paying schools as he took over presidency of the Girls’ Schools Association.
The St Gabriels CoE principal called claims that the sector is elitist “stereotypical” and “out of date.”
