Brabyns Prep isn't a state school - but it appears to have a "can do" attitude that some much larger state schools would do well to emulate.
Clearly one or two children (and staff) coming from the wilds of Derbyshire might have difficulty getting in, but the vast majority should manage. None of Marple's primary schools and not many of the local secondary schools have huge catchment areas. And please let's not hear about the "slippery pavements around the school".
