  Did they carry on to visit any state run schools? How about an uplifting visit for the majority of B&H schools children, particularly when considering that they receive £141K per year from a parliamentry annuity i.e. us. Sadly, the state schools probably didn't have the money to build a Diamond Jubilee Pavilion, but a visit would have been nice anyway.

  Think how much income Brighton College brings to Brighton. Think how much it saves the State when its fee-paying parents contribute rather than take out of the system, as well as paying that part of their local tax contribution towards state education which they do not actually receive.

  I am trying to think but I can't at the moment.Are you trying to say that all of the Colleges income gets spent in Brighton and Hove?Do all of the Teaching Staff spend their money in the City?I always thought that East Brighton Park was owned by the Council?Are these Facilities going to be shared by other Schools?

  I presume some of the teaching staff use the city's cinemas, restaurants, bars and clothes shops, as do the pupils. Those that live here pay their Council Tax, as does the school itself. Presumably the school pays rent to the Council for use of that part of the park. The new pavilion is for use by many community groups, not just the school."
