With the fresh round of open mornings comes a fresh round of expensive adverts in the local papers (see Trash passim ad nauseum). All the schools are at it, even the ones like Hampstead that have had their budgets squeezed in the last few years, despite Headteachers saying their students are suffering without the funds.
The Ham&High no longer seem to be bothering to hide their bias when it comes to local schooling. Despite Hampstead and other local state schools advertising in their 12-page educational supplement this week, the insert was subtitled "How to choose an independent school", and qualified this with "Your guide to north London's top educators".
It's not the first time the Ham&High have ignored local comps that are doing reasonably well compared to their independent counterparts. For the last two years, the paper has lauded schools like UCS, whilst ignoring Hampstead altogether.
