Final Idea

As a group we came together and decided on the idea of public V private school.
- This idea came from the fact that one of our group members Meg was a student at a private school before she came to our public sixth form college.
- The two schools we are focussing on are: Heathside School (where we are all currently studying) and St Georges College (a local private school where Meg used to study).
- We will be looking at the comparisons between the following things:
  • Uniform - how smart or scruffy, if it is strict and whether the students like the uniform they have to wear.
  • Facilities - this is a varied point to analyse because it involves classrooms, sporting facilities, canteens and school grounds.
  • Teaching - teaching standards is often different and by interviewing the teachers themselves we can get an idea of how it feels to be a teacher working at a private school and a public school.
  • Behaviour - this is a general reflection on how well a school is doing, if the students are well behaved the school is generally successful whereas if the behaviour is not great this will always reflect on the school in general.
  • Exam results - including the GCSE exam results over the recent years, these can be compared and help build a good argument between public and private schools.
