* 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.
