big budget American TV series cen­ tred on the survivors of a plane crash on an increasingly mysterious and bizarre island. I ts first two series were screened on Channel 4, building up a big cult following, and it now shows on Sky One. One of the survivors is Charlie


Pace (pictured), a burned-out rock star with a drug problem and the only English character in the cast. He is played by Dominic Mon­ aghan, one of the stars of the Lord of the Rings films. Each episode of Lost features flashback sequences which reveal more about key char­ acters and their lives before the crash.


Last Sunday’s episode, entitled


“Greatest Hits”, had a flashback sequence on Charlie when he and his band, “Drive Shaft”, are strug­ gling to break into the big time and on the verge of packing it in. In the first scene after the open­


ing credits, Charlie and his brother, Liam, played by Neil Hopkins, are on their way to a gig. The scene is set in a country lane in the pouring rain and their battered tour van has just broken down. Charlie is outside in the rain trying to fix the van, and yells out in frustration: “Why are we even doing this?” Liam says to Charlie: “Chin up


mate, we’re headlining.” Charlie replies: “Headlining?


We’re playing Clitheroe... the arse end of nowhere!” But shortly after, Charlie hears


the band’s music playing on the van’s radio for the very first time... their big break at last. The scene cuts to the present, and Charlie


looks back on the incident as one of the greatest moments of his life... so maybe Clitheroe isn’t so bad after all.

THERE are more than 2,500 independent schools in the UK, educating about 620,000 chil­ dren. In England, independent schools


educate about 7% of the entire school age population; proportions are lower in Scotland and Wales. There are regional variations, too: in the south east, about 10% of chil­ dren are in independent schools and the proportion rises to 13% in Lon­ don. Independent schools educate


about 8 % of the whole school popu­ lation. Under the Education Act 1996 all independent schools must be registered with the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) and must meet certain regulations set by the DfES (in Wales the Welsh Office E d u ca t ion D epar tment


(WOED). However, independent schools are largely self-governing and are not required to comply with all legislation covering schools main­ tained by the State. The education system in the UK


has been deeply influenced by the social class structure. The tradition­ al view held was that education was the concern of the family - private tutors were engaged to teach the sons of the nobility - and of the church: schools were set up by bish­ ops to give instruction to prospec­ tive clergymen. It was not until the 19th Century that i t became the state's responsi­


bility to establish a system of ele­ mentary schools, and there was still no provision for secondary educa­ tion, which continued to be provid­ ed by voluntary fee-paying gram­ mar schools and "public schools". A few of these dated back to the 16th century, but the m a jo r i ty were established to meet the growing demand in the 18th and 19th Cen­ turies. The "public schools" were aristo­


cratic, exclusive, formal and classical and only catered for a small propor­ tion of the population. Their main goal was to develop


the nation's future leaders for serv­ ice in public life, and as such were only open to the sons of the nobility or the prosperous new mercantile class.


Boys who had previously been


educated a t home were now sent away to live a t school in a communi­ ty with boys of similar upbringing. Roughly 6-7% of children in the


UK attend independent schools, of which there are more than 2,500. All are required to meet regula­


tions, and most are funded by fees paid by parents. Many of these are run as charitable trusts under the control of a Board of Governors. While independent schools do not


have to comply with the national curriculum, many of them have cho­ sen to do so. There is considerable variation in admission procedures but common entrance is used by the majority of senior schools for admis­ sion at 13+. Some independent day schools a re highly selectiv e and dominate the national league tables for GCSE and A-level results.
