My daughter's school is just about to change their status from a "Leading Edge" college to a "Foundation" college. Does anyone have any idea what this means? The letter from the school is a masterpiece of marketing gobbeldygook typical of the Labour government. Things like, " increased flexibility to promote innovation", "continued raising of standards" and "excellent schools should be a force for levering up standards across the system".

Please tell me this isn't code for, "we'd like to start charging tuition"?
