Thank you, Anne Love, for pointing out a rather sad story in The Times e-paper regarding the closure of the Royal High’s prep school.

The school is blaming a series of government decisions, which include the introduction of VAT on school fees, the removal of business rates relief and an increase in employer national insurance contributions.

Royal High will now be on one site and teaching from Year 5.
