Re: any hope left for kids on waiting list at this stage?

Hi,

I suggest you ring Mrs. Brakes in the school office, she's awfully nice. I'm sure she would be more than happy to answer your questions. My DS is in the second form, he told me a few kids have dropped out or are going to.

Good luck,

Re: Day Pupils - announcement pending

So not just anyone can be become a day pupil? That seems a little unfair. I'm very confused by all this information, of lack of it. :?

Re: Day Pupils - announcement pending

I wonder when this will be put into action? Will current boarders be aloud to become day students? Weekly boarding would be ideal for me, I doubt it will be an option though.

Re: Early Lent Half Term

Does anyone know if the rules might change? I would love my DS to come home every weekend. If I were aloud to pick him up after Saturday classes and bring him back on Sunday evening, that would be brilliant. Bring on the change. :rock:

Re: End of term packing

To get back to Jade's original question My son is in the second form, and has informed me that everything has to be brought home at the end of each term. Is this true? I don't drive, so getting everything back will be a nightmare. How did you get on Jade? Did you manage to drag everything home on p...

Re: January Residential Assessment

My DS took the assessment last year. The English comprehension was much easier than the sample test on the CH website. We read Dickens for a few month, but the passage on the test was modern. and easy to understand.He did lots of the verbal and non-verbal reasoning practise tests. He spent hours on ...

Re: New sports kit list

As for the trackie bottoms, I thought the sports list info gave inside leg measurements? I may have remembered that wrong, but I seem to remember having to order a size up for my skinny but long-legged daughters so that they would be long enough? If so, have you checked that you got the right size,...
