Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

We received the list with the second pile of forms to fill in, dd was delighted to hear that she had a governor quite some time after she had passed both entrance exams.

Or Col A? ( apart from a shorter walk to meals), are the houses broadly similar?

Thankyou all for a very interesting and detailed response, especially thankyou foureyes and katharine - I have found the explanation and history fascinating. Sejintenej, thankyou also for your reply. The question came from a conversation I had with a current parent- my dd starts in September. I am e...

Do all children at Christ's Hospital who have a governors presentation (eg a donation governor) wear a metal plate on their coats, if not, what do they mean, and who are they given by?

...just got the new entrants date - 8th May.

Do we get a list of everything that the children need to bring, down to files, stationery and calculators?

Re the earned income vs savings, is that because it's the interest that's taken into account?

dd's friend is in year 6 at the moment, but still looking at various schools for year 7 entry. Dd was concerned that he had left it too late.

Pinkhebe - feel free to pm me to be wildly enthusiastic ( if I can pm you too !!). I am over the moon that dd has got in to CH.

Congratulations to your DS, Wurzle . Very pleased to hear that he got in.

Is there another set of exam dates for entry to C.H. Other than the November initial assessment and January residential for entry this September ?
A child at dd's school says he was sitting tests last weekend.

Would this be full fee day? Does anyone know any more ??

Hopefully Reading are more organised than West Sussex - the West Sussex online application system developed a fault , and results have only just gone online, but the emails have not been sent yet.

Hope it is good news Wurzel.

REALLY ??
I put it on my rhubarb !

I remember that... My grandmother called it
'top of the milk'...wasn't the same when she switched

The posh stuff you get from cows.. You put milk in a jar and shake it really fast.

I have only had and sent off the acceptance form, signing life away form and deposit.

I have a rough idea of the fees for us as I asked the admissions office after the nov assessment. Beans on toast for 7 years

Need to sort out my filing though ...
