Subject: Re: Kate's school & Katemas About the contradiction, it wasn't intentional that it came across that way. Now generally the 11+ was scrapped in 1970, and the schools in your area were an obvious exception.It is known that Kate attended a private preparatory school before St Joseph's.I then assumed as the 11+ was scrapped in 1970,the grammar school became either Comprehensive or Private,I thought it was likely to be private.Hence the reason for saying it was private.Though what happened in your case may apply here as well, it would have depended on the local council,because Government funding was removed in 1970.That is why the majority of grammar schools had to change.The reason why the 11+ was scrapped almost universally in 1970, was because Edward Heath wanted to a see one universal school system in the UK.Coventry is one of the larger cities, the 1970 ruling did not apply to Coventry alone, it was nationwide.In reality Geoff's case was the exception rather than the rule. -- _ __ __ Andy Semple ' ) ) / / ) _/_ / 7 Winsford Avenue, /--' _ __. _. /_ o __ _, / / . . / / Allesley Park, / \_</_(_/|_(__/ /_<__/ <_(_)_ (__/ (_/_<__ O Coventry,CV5 9JG. /| JANET:sre017@uk.ac.cov.cck |/ HOME TEL:(0203) 672308 'I'm the concierge,chez moi honey.Won't letcha in for love nor money.My home my joy and I'm barred and bolted,and I won't letcha in!!!'KB '82
