Cameron to be 1st Tory PM to send his child to state secondary. The school's uniform shop? Er, Peter Jones in Sloane Square #BogStandardComp

@JuliaHB1 Whatever are you getting at? -
@DJack_Journo@JuliaHB1 she seems to be being incredibly snarky over a perfectly reasonable set of choices and due process. Odd. -
@sqwawk@DJack_Journo this is political posturing. There are state schools and there are state schools. This is a grammar by any other name. -
@JuliaHB1@DJack_Journo Local to No 10, these are the state schools. What choice should he have made to get your approval? -
@sqwawk@DJack_Journo A local comp. Not a school that has a highly selective admissions policy. -
@JuliaHB1@DJack_Journo and that wouldn't have been political posturing?! And I notice you didn't make such a choice either-why should he? -
@sqwawk@DJack_Journo I'm not in charge of this country's schools - if I was, trust me, they would ALL be first class.

@JuliaHB1 it was their second choice, apparently -
@jameschappers what was their first? Westminster? -
@JuliaHB1 another state school -
@JuliaHB1 no, that's Catholic -
@jameschappers I'm not sure that bothers many non-Catholics whose kids go there! Where then? -
@JuliaHB1@jameschappers Peter Jones is Catholic? As in a wide choice of goods? -

@JuliaHB1@DJack_Journo I don't disagree with your scepticism but reports are saying this was their second choice, albeit a wonderful one -
@patrick_kidd@DJack_Journo do you seriously believe that the PM's daughter only got into her second choice state school? Really?! -
@JuliaHB1 I believe their second choice is far better than most parents could dream of as a first choice. Lucky them to have such options! -
@patrick_kidd and is it likely that a school with 10 applicants for each place gave one to a child who put them as a 2nd option?!?!? -
@JuliaHB1 Does it work on catchment areas? If so, they may live closer to second choice than the first
