This cartoon by Jonathan Pugh appeared in The Times on 18 March 1999, alongside the news that‘ one of Britain’ s leading independent schools has told parents that it intends to abandon A Levels, just two days before the government announces a controversial reform of the sixth-form curriculum.’
The article went on to state:‘ Sevenoaks School in Kent, the top co-educational school in last year’ s Times examination tables, is to offer only the International Baccalaureate( IB) to new entrants from next year.’
The decision was not made lightly and we have never regretted it.
