Are parents buying places when private schools become academies?

From the TES: 'Liverpool College, which was a leading private school until it gained academy status in September last year, received 385 applications from fee-paying parents in just two weeks when its bid to go state-funded was announced. A total of 81 paying pupils were admitted.'

The TES reports similar evidence at:

Queen Elizabeth Grammar School in Blackburn
Chetwynde School in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria
Holy Trinity International School in Kidderminster
Bradford Girls’ Grammar, West Yorkshire
Batley Grammar, West Yorkshire
