How do you get your child into one of those public shcool? Do you need money, or connections, or does the child need be talented? (The Wikipedia article didn't tell.)

Most do scholarships, so if your kid is really bright you might get one of those (usually reduced rather than no fees), they do this to bump up their examination results. Connections seem less important now than it used to be, but many will give preference to those whose parents or siblings attended.
