HI Sam,
Thanks that does explain it very nicely thanks. Very naively I had assumed that inspection was about education (in which case it should'nt matter how something is funded if education is a fundamental human right). I have to say that I'm (frequently) bamboozled by the complications and contradictions of the English educational system. Well actually, that's not fair - most educational systems across the world are labyrinthine!
