Yeah found a new alternative school...

From an article in the TES magazine this month I discovered the Acorn school in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire: a Steiner inspired independent school whose pupils are admitted to university (according to the head anyway) with no exams under their belts at all. This is one of the things I personally believe could be a tipping point if their ever was to be a move towards a freer more democratic education: if universities were to begin to accept pupils without exam qualifications from a number of schools then people would be forced to sit up and take notice. Especially pupils who are most closely exposed to the unfairness of formal examinations. Acorn School.
