Re: House photos
Oh dear Pinkhebe, you've got me worried now! Although my own laptop and e-mail account are both (to the best of my knowledge!) still fully functioning, I can't find any messages from CH about House photos. Have I missed something? This is DS's final term at CH and I really don't want to miss the opp...

Re: Bursary information
If you go to the school website home page and type bursary table into the search box the link comes up Thanks for your help Fairy; that does the trick! Although I can’t help wondering how on earth the average prospective parent is meant to locate this information (perhaps Frances is right, and they...

Bursary information
A colleague of mine is thinking of applying to CH for her DD for next year, and has been asking me lots of questions about the school. Of course, the thing she really wants (and needs!) to know above all else is whether it's likely to be affordable; I've explained that I can't help her there as it's...

Re: When do you stop giving birthday presents?
Thanks JR and Kit. To be honest my mum has never been much good at remembering or recognizing the grandchildren’s birthdays, and I suspect that they’d hardly have noticed a difference if she hadn’t specifically flagged up a ‘change’ of policy!! But to me it feels as though she’s just been waiting fo...

When do you stop giving birthday presents?
My mum has announced to her four grandsons that she intends to stop giving them birthday presents after this year (when two of them will reach 21, and two 18) because she considers them grown up* - she says that all her friends have done the same. I must admit I've never really thought about the mat...

Re: 2014 Admissions
As to KES p, think you have to decide whether to appeal or have your applications forwarded, as I understand it you can't do both. Do CH now actually suggest King Edward's School as an alternative option to all unsuccessful candidates? I don't know much about KES, but I'm curious as to why they'd b...

Re: Trees down on roads around Horsham
Thanks for the warning Atticus! We allowed extra time for our journey up from the Sussex coast, and navigated successfully through floods and fallen trees... only to find that when we arrived at CH at 10.40, both the Theatre and Stammerham access gates were still closed, with cars backed up onto the...

Re: 2014 Admissions
No idea if we can afford it (TBH we can't afford the fees for our first son - we can only pay them thanks to a flexible mortgage) But we'll have to find the money if ds2 gets a place ( kinda crossing my fingers that he won't get a place ) That's a sad and rather counter-intuitive coda, Pinkhebe! Bu...

Re: 2014 Admissions
I may have got this wrong, but aren't you both (Pinkhebe and Eowyn) waiting to hear whether your children are offered a place for entry this year? So you've applied, paid the registration fee, and your children have gone through two stages of assessment... all without CH having provided you with suf...

Re: SPECIAL NEEDS AT CH
I find it shocking to read of Sarah's experience - but sadly, not altogether surprising. I've heard a number of similar stories in recent years where the interests of individual pupils seem to be given very low priority. The HM has told me himself that CH must operate first and foremost as a busines...
