Going back to the 90s, and a far better use of my £ than an Oasis ticket.

That's fantastic, thanks. Explains a lot.

I lived in Four Corners, right against the border fence - right by the badly drawn yellow cross.

And nearly all age groups in independent schools grew...
June 6, 2025 at 8:21 AM
Movement into sixth forms has been negative over the period of available data - unsurprising as not everyone goes on to KS5.

The decrease is greater than last year following a 9 year trend interrupted only by Covid.

It is reasonable to conclude that what we're seeing here is not down to VAT.

We would expect a bigger increase at 11 as pupils move from primary to secondary.

This year continues a downward trend but remains higher than the average.

Some coverage today of DfE numbers showing a drop in pupils at independent schools but how much is due to demographics?

Comparing age group cohorts, (this yr's 5 yos against last yr's 4 yos) gives a different picture.

Every year group, but one, has grown yoy.
