What this means, though, is that there are even fewer choices for parents looking for all boys public schools. I still believe in single sex education, particularly for boys. Boys and girls develop at such different rates and they learn in very different ways. As prep schools, we will have to work even harder to make sure that we continue to get boys into the best schools.

Co-education
I learnt this morning that Shrewsbury School is to go fully co-educational from 2014. They have had girls in the sixth form since 2008. I love Shrewsbury; I have been lucky enough to visit the school a number of times with Fives teams and I have always been incredibly impressed. I very much hope that the move to co-education works.
