New Schools Network claim to be an independent group, however they are most certainly not independent of the John Adam St Gang.

What we describe as the 'John Adam St Gang' are those insitutions located roughly between The Strand, Embankment, Craven Street and Lancaster Place.

* Lord Adonis states
 http://www.scribd.com/doc/33884228/Academies-Boarding-DNA-and-genes

I believe it is important that independent schools
support academies, and why more young people in the
state sector should benefit from a boarding experience....

They were impressed
by the argument that the ‘DNA’ of Wellington College
could be deployed elsewhere to inform the founding ideals
and purpose of a new state school.
In our case, that means a commitment to all-round
education, our eight aptitudes, pupil well-being, outdoor
activities and the Combined Cadet Force. The academy
would also have a strong house system, with the house
names at Wellington College replicated, and boarding.
700 of our 850 pupils are boarders. It is very much in our
genes.

* Lorna Cocking chairman of the Girls Day School Trust also a Fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts:
