Nobody wants to be middle class now

A CONCERNED parent has posted on our Nextdoor website her fears that the local church school she is contemplating for her child is ‘too middle-class’.

Not so long ago, parents were flooding the Sunday service of the nearby church in hope against hope that their child could gain entry to one of the few excellent state schools in this socially diverse area.

As a result, the status of the school grew in prestige. How times have changed.
