I think simply that need in the case of CH is failry easy to answer... 'would the child benefit from an education at CH?' - if the answer is yes, they have need?
I know the boarding schools associaiton spent 2 days discussing this once, and they could not adequatly define need!

Does this include those idiots who spell it wrong when announcing the launch of it on the CH Forum, with a big scrolling banner?DavebytheSea wrote:I think, Mr Plum, that those who have difficulty spelling "association" have a definite need to be educated at Christ's Hospital.

Why, of course, Julian! How else did you think you might have been able to enjoy such an estimable education?

Need
Is this the english grammar forum then?
Surely there should be a comma after "Need" in the forum title?
My "need" as the oldest of four children, my father didn't pay any tax and I was streets ahead at school.
I took the 11 plus and got maximum marks, studied for the entrance exam (including trigonometry) and started in 1965.
It was all downhill from there.
