In the Telegraph last week, Brighton College head girl Charlotte Haney responded to the assertions by Rhiannon Wilkinson, head of Wycombe Abbey, that single-sex education is better for teenage girls because it takes the pressure of them trying to impress boys in a “sexualised world”.
Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Ms Haney said: “It’s infuriating to read this when you know the reality because you live in it every day.”
She added: “My parents sent me to Brighton aged five because they wanted me to stay closer to my brother and felt a single-sex environment would not prepare me for the real world.”
