private education ends
fees don't cover costs
~
n.b. St John’s RC College, Southsea, “Permanently closed“. So much for educating the boys of the Portsmouth diocese.
Buildings established to ensure one group of children got a decent education in a densely populated port, now vacant, after it went private and educated fee-payers’ children from around the world.
Meanwhile, the need for school buildings and sports facilities in the city remains high, but these falling into disrepair.
