they dont tell the children that got in there score just explain to parnets why they didnt make it .. not bad going 1600 children sat it and only 180 places .. next stop QE boys ( please third time lucky?) having to watch his friend make it we had tears again :( ( i feel easier knowing how and why h...

Im so happy .. although my ds didtn get a place at latymer either his standardised score was 104 and they took children with 106 and above .. 104 is such a great achievement for a competitive over subsribed only selective school in the whole borough and im grinning from ear some times i guess it rea...

i try to find ones with a good percentage of fees baing paid we wouldnt be able to cover the full cost so helps needed .. good thing that some tell you what you can get before you apply for the exam so thats good ( still not ch though) :( ill check that other school out, does any one know if city of...

I wish your DS luck with his ambition and the results from his other two schools. Which ones are they? latymer queen elizabeth barnet ( exam 2nd dec) westminster. ( entry 13) have a few more up my sleeve :lol: .. all we can do is try .. although all these registeration fees are getting rather costl...

i am the same as you .. my child a high level 5(a) good school report ( in facct his head teacher was an old blue) and knew what this could do for my child having been and gone myself i thought my child fitted ch totally . he has so much talent his thirst for knowledge know no bounds .. remember whe...

Hello and thank you everyone for your kind wishes! I am over the moon, as is DS. You are very kind. Please cross your fingers now for my DS in January. I shall likewise be crossing fingers for your children. So long as we are all within the chosen 100, that will be great! I will truely pray and my ...

As a grand-dad with no hidden agenda, my thoughts are pretty wide spread. Everything I read arriving from the school suggests to me that it's becoming a case of 'money-talks' , but maybe I'm being cynical. As an OB who would probably be described by the school as a 'failed-pupil' by leaving immedia...

This is fab news fou you.
Im so pleased to have got to see this after all the sad posts .. feel a small fraction of your happiness and this has put a big smile on my face x

im not putting Ch down but be a parent of a pupil at Ch is very different to going , Having gone I feel that its changed .. I was not as clever as my son but lucky me my mum was a drunk ( hence i got in) .. I will always love that school its a part of my life and where I learnt my values ( EVERY ONE...

I so agree with CHdad about questioning our decisions on a regular basis! A couple of times I have been very close to driving to CH to pick my DS up and take him home!! Maybe your children could try for the 13plus? We always felt the first of exams were the trickiest as in our opinion it was purely...

I feel so sorry for those children who did not get in, the problem with visiting C.H is that you kind of fall in love with the place as soon as you walk around for the first time (well we did anyway) and therefore it must be a terrible blow when your child does not get in. As someone else stated in...

my son bought a mock maths paper home that they did in school and he got one question wrong .. which was a strong 5(a) .. im thinking that your child would probably make the best out of the whole package ch has to offer :D and in that case thats what them places are for. im so sad he didnt get in b...

My son said the missing words part was hard and that he struggled with the written section because his stomach was hurting too much, also I think he probably spent too long planning as that's what he usually does! I feel a bit stupid for applying to be honest when I see that the other kids all seem...
