also hear from two former independent school pupils who have made it to the very highest level in their respective sports: Old Etonian Olympic hurdler Lawrence Clarke (page 11) and Millfi eld old girl and England netball captain Pamela Cookey (page 40). Our cover star Tin-Tin Ho (see page 6) is already following fast in their footsteps... Happy and inspirational reading - and
