In today’s competitive job market, educational achievement is of even greater importance. For this reason, it is not only the result of exams which are important, or even which university or college you attend. In today’s climate, a further worry is which primary school students attend. In 2010, over 30,000 parents joined waiting lists for their children to attend a fee paying primary school. This figure is almost double that for the year of 2000. In this way, the UK is following in the footsteps of the United States, where it is estimated that one eighth of all primary schools are fee paying.
