Public Schools in the News
This section is a brief roundup of public school stories, gleaned from the press and elsewhere. Whilst we appreciate articles that tell stories such as "Public school Divinity master given award for not molesting any pupils", most of our readers aren't interested in them. So we've concentrated on sex, drugs and pomposity instead - and there's no shortage of any of these things on this page. If you have any articles you would like to see listed here, please email contact@crappublicschools.org.uk or share them on the myspace pages.
