That’s because number of applications is irrelevant - most private school parents apply for a state school place as well and always have done. It’s how many take up the place in the end, so it’s too early to call. But a 9% increase in applications isn’t insignificant.
They should also look at sixth forms because that’s where the squeeze is more likely to be felt.
