    The sports field was the gap between us and the local mental hospital.

    The swimming pool was used by every primary school within walking distance.

      We had a Prime Minister as alumni, along with multiple rugby and football pitches, a cricket pitch with practice nets, tennis court and a sixth form common room.

      Other posh tulipe not mentioned in the survey:
      Houses (named after significant people in the school's history)
      Subjects like classical Greek, French for Business
      A careers advisor
      A separate main entrance that pupils were not to enter/exit through
      A games master (with a fondness for watching pupil
      Guest lectures from the likes of Ranulph Fiennes, some famous pathologist and other "famous" professionals

            Not posh, but had famous alumni, one of which trades on being posh
