Hence, would a white English person feel that it would be beneficial to their child attending a school with a high ethnic proportion. My Mother, at that time, would have said no.

Just an example from a personal perspective. What do you think?
Hi again Mr S. This sounds like a crap experience with a crap teacher. And that can scar a person for sure. But my posts on here have been about good schools that have good teachers. My kid is mixed with loads of other cultures but all the lessons are (necessarily) in English. Some kids have esol support but my daughter is doing great,as are her multicultural friends. Hence the positive ofsted rating. So, with the ofsted quality rating, that the children have better than average with lots far better ratings and an assurance that lessons would be fully conducted in English (as they are meant to be) would you still send your kids to such a school? And it's your opinion that counts, not your mum!
