Since I started school (many years ago) I was labelled as more "creative" than "academic", so find it frustrating when people insist on the focus of science and maths in schools, especially as I'm a firm believer that creativity is an aid to learning.

I agree that schools should make sure they are teaching a balanced selection of subjects, but just because a school specialises in the arts does not mean they neglect "academia". I went to a school that specialised in sciences and did not excel.

Forest Hill School is a superb school, all of the students I have encountered have been intelligent, polite and well rounded individuals, and I hate to generalise but, in my opinion, there are many children about who do not tick any of those boxes nowadays.
