Thanks for that Kerren.

Next question.......... is there anywhere that gives info on fees payable so I can estimate how much we might pay?

Thanks Kerren. My youngest is due to start secondary school in 2013. She's very bright and has been doing maths lessons with 4 year 6 children who are finding year 6 maths too easy. She's year 5. She most certainly does not get that skill from me lol. I am sure she would love CH. But there are so ma...

What is the criteria? Is it literally that the child must be a daughter/granddaughter of an Old Blue?

As far as I can remember it was only button grecians who were allowed to walk on the path in the 1980's and the only people I ever remember cutting across the quad on the grass were masters!

Yes, you have redeemed yourself

Yes - I was good friends with Mary. She was in 4's and at the time hated being called by her full name, preferring Mary. And yes, there was a hyphen!

I do agree though that CH is in danger of excluding the very children its remit was intended to cover. Exactly. Whilst I appreciate that admin costs must be significant, surely this should be something that is budgeted as part of the yearly process. Obviously if you manage to gain a place at CH at ...

Outrageous!
Is this the norm for schools to do this these days? Are there really that many people who apply with no intention of going through the whole process? And what if you are turned down at the first hurdle? I'd want a refund

Can anyone enlighten me as to exactly what the £50 registration fee for applying for a place at CH includes? £50 seems a bit excessive unless it includes the residentials etc

Sailing at Weymouth !! And don't we know about it! 20 years of roadworks have just been completed over the course of the last year or so. They have taken up most of the roundabouts and replaced them with traffic lights. The road network is now a shambles and we are the proud owners of "Kamikaz...
