Robert Halfon, MP for Harlow and Chair of the House of Commons Education Committee says NO
In normal times, I visit schools from Harlow to Hull. Most students I meet want examinations. It is not hard to understand why. As Ofsted said to our Education Committee, exams provide structure and a sense of achievement. Ofsted are right: they give students something to aspire to.

“A key one that comes to mind is considering the need for privacy, for such high profile tots.
“There are likely arrangements the school is used to making having such high profile children in the school, where security measures are clearer and activities possibly more discreet.”
Another reason according to the expert could be down to the vast choice of extra curricular actives offered.
Kate and William regularly encourage the independence of their children which could help them in their roles within the Royal Family when they are older.
The expert added: “Top prep schools can bring in items with parallels to Stiener education such as Forest schools, or the latest research and teacher improvement though items such as Professor John Hattie’s world renowned Visible Learning and of course, mirror the academic focus of grammar schools in ensuring students are well trained for exams.
