A boarding school has ended its centuries-long relationship with the Catholic Church in order to reposition itself as a Christian school in an effort to attract more families and better reflect its increasingly “diverse” student body.
Ben Horan, the headmaster of Prior Park College, which was founded by Bishop Baines in 1830 as a Catholic seminary and school for boys, and has been described as one of the most beautiful schools in England, has also noted how the imposition of VAT on fees has heightened the pressure for the school to remain competitive, reports the Daily Telegraph.
