Good luck to all waiting for the results next week. Hoping the wait isn't too long x

Happy birthday to my dd's lovely room-mate too - another Nov 6th birthday

Atticus, apparently your dd sits behind him in maths

Hope she is behaving

Hi Pinkhebe, your ds probably means the swimming and football competitions as part of the superstars challenge. The swimming part sound especially fun :-) you could go up and see him in the football ;-) Happy anniversary x We saw dd last weekend as were in the sports centre for something else, but s...

We had a lovely giggly happy phonecall from dd on Tuesday - the happiest she's sounded all month. Then she was unwell and chaperoned to the doctors in town. She is fine, but very homesick when she rings, and struggling a bit with having nowhere to escape to which can make her a little prickly. Pinkh...

DD wears hers on a friendship bracelet that the 2nd formers and their nursemaids made in house on their first day

Homework? Dd didn't mention any, but she did bring the entire contents of her desk home. We spent a large part of Saturday buying stationery supplies - including a calculator. Willtry to find out what happened to the other one this week. She had a lovely leave weekend - perhaps too lovely as we left...

Found out about the ballet - she isn't trying to get out of netball or any lessons, it's something in-house

I contacted dd's house parent today - she said that there isn't marching on Friday, and that dd should be free to be collected after lunch - about 1.15 - 1.30 from the house on Friday

Do we collect them from the house?

No problem ailurophile, I know I was being very specific to our situation, but the other local boarding families will have their own specific reasons, and to board only a few miles away from home is an unusual step to make, especially as the state schools here are good. The day pupils pay a full fee...

CH has always taken local children . In our very specific case , dd has been identified as having a very strong need to go to CH as a border, and has been also given a governor to support her. Problems within families are not geographically governed. We were not given the option of a day place becau...
