Having been to a private school, I would be tempted to say no.
With Mrs Fiend having worked in an inner-city comprehensive, I would be tempted to say yes.

Why thank you. Looks like I'm getting slowly better.
And yeah, it's a boarding school, though I've not boarded at it for about 4 years. The blazer is blue-green-white vertical striped.
I'm just thankful we don't have to wear hats.
Though they're getting slightly more relaxed now, many people wear band t-shirts under their normal shirts. Dunno if you're allowed or not. I personally wear a pentagram around my neck and keep it well hidden. Until I can afford a cheap Sisters pendant.

Nope, no way. I'd move to where the state schools were OK, loads of money or not. In fact that's what I did.

pure uni's 'red brick' can make up their own rules, other uni's follow these rules. poly were to uni as comprehensive was to grammar and therefore became unfashionable. i think

No no, that IS what it means. And we all know it. That's why most of us just refer to it as Bishop Grot. Sounds similar enough.
