Robin Appleby, the headteacher of Britain s most expensive day school has resigned following a row over a new woke agenda at the £32,650-a-year American School in London (ASL).
The American School in London is Britain s most expensive day school, charging an astonishing £32,650-a-year in fees to the capital s loftiest bankers, corporate lawyers and celebrities.
At pick-up, parents rub shoulders with footballers Thierry Henry and Mikel Arteta, Hollywood siren Salma Hayek and the occasional plutocrat and oligarch.
To a certain breed of turbo-powered Londoner, having children at ASL is a badge of wealth and privilege, denoting membership of an exclusive club where your child becomes what the prospectus dubs a lifelong learner and courageous global citizen , hopefully with top academic grades and a place at a major university.
Or at least it was.
