Hi Vivienne,

    Your concerns about your new local school may be fully justified,
    but the pictures may just have been set up specially for the brochure
    rather than being an actual class in progress. 

    When I was taking chemistry at college, professional photographers
    came into class one day to take pictures for the latest prospectus/
    brochure. They had me don safety goggles and lab coat and sit at the
    bench, randomly letting purple dyed water from a burette into a
    conical flask while peering intently at it, with my friend stood
    behind, studiously pressing buttons on her calculator! It was
    hilarious and bore absolutely no relevance to any science
    whatsoever, but the pictures looked suitably scientific! I always
    look at college brochures in a different light now, with a bit of a
    giggle too. 

    Just make sure you ask questions, or see if you can pay a visit while
    a class is in progress to see whether they are up to speed or lax
    with regards to health and safety. Chances are they're fine as you
    really can't get away with low standards in that area these days -
    not that you'd want to.
