It will be a truly progressive, rather than the usual authoritarian/conservative approach, that is actually democratic. There are very few democratic schools in the world, so this would be revolutionary for Somerville! The application is fairly mild mannered sounding so I imagine that you could not understand the vast implications of such a unique approach of respecting and valuing the child's unique needs and interests, but trust me, it's a huge difference compared to mainstream schools.
Did you get a chance to read the proposal? It's wonderful!
