School fee inflation 'slows down'

So what does it mean? Maybe the post-millenium building programme has ceased and we are not hiking our fees to pay for them! Perhaps we are keen not to turn off the new generations of parents somewhat apprehensive to take the plunge into Independent Education. The article ends with the quote:

"Despite the growing relative expense of sending a child to a private school, this has become a more popular option for parents.
