Support from Independent schools

I'm the first to admit that i didn't expect to see this at all, but I have to say that the comments are extremely welcomed.

I'm referring to the Comment in TES by Seldon and Ford of Wellington School about the Diplomas and their relevance to students (Wellington is the first Independent School to offer the Engineering Diploma).

Great to see support from what would at first appear to be an unexpected source and even nicer to see a sensible argument put forward for the principle of the qualification.
