So - a state grammar school
just like a lot of others


Admissions at the moment says the following
QUOTE

If you wish to apply to join us, you first need to complete the entrance tests which take place on Friday 24/Saturday 25 September (date to be confirmed). Online applications for the entrance test have now closed. You will receive an automated response that your application has been received and in due course you will be provided with further details regarding the procedure for the test day.


Usually you could come and take a look at why you should join us, at one of our Open Days. However, as we are currently restricting visitors to the school, our open days have been postponed until further notice. Please enjoy the links on our home page to get a flavour of life at Newstead Wood School in the meantime.

So no interview - at least no now

The entry requirements may have changed since 1983 ;)

Indeed, essentially a state grammar, not an elite private school

Always a bonus when someone else is paying! When I worked I didn't get away too frequently but did a few times a year and mostly enjoyed eating and drinking on expenses or being taken out by the clients. I was a good boy though and and never got wasted.

She was at the GP today in a car being driven round the track
not sure by who

but she sure deserved it


probably just lucky it was not Lewis - he would have seen it as his task to scare her enough to scream

Good for her if she makes the most of it - then goes back to the training when she needs to

The track drive was at the British GP at Silverstone in July, although F1 has just released the video.

It was put up yesterday, which is typical of F1's new American owners who will never miss a marketing opportunity.

Another link is Emma's declared favourite driver, Daniel Ricciardo, won the Italian GP, also yesterday.
