Re: New Entrants'Day
Can't comment on the "box", but I can say that I bought one of each crested item only, and everything else in plain navy/white. As it turns out, with all the crested stuff being so late in arriving, my daughter would have been completely without some items if it were not for my having boug...

Re: Leave weekends
I knew about the distance, I knew about leave weekends, I knew it would cost money. But could anyone have predicted just how sharply the cost of fuel would rise? I know I didn't. I have been in touch with a couple of local(-ish) families with regard to journey sharing, but so far this has yet to res...

Re: Leave weekends
Well I'm afraid that although it is nice to see my daughter, the stress of getting there and back, plus the stress of knowing how much it is costing, far outweighs the benefit of seeing her. Sad but true.

Re: Setting for Latin and or French
Well yes, there is that, but what about in relation to the grouping of different abilities within a school?

Re: Setting for Latin and or French
Daft question alert.
What is the difference between sets and streams? I thought they were one and the same thing!

Re: Leave weekends
I was a little surprised to find that a week in advance, it was too late. What about last minute emergencies..?
Anyway, it's not a problem, this time.

Re: Leave weekends
Apparently I've left it too late, and even if she did stay, she'd be the only girl in the whole school to do so. Oh well... It was the house mistress who told me this. It's all sorted now anyway, she's going to stay with a friend, which everyone seems to be happy with. :) The thing is, maybe it get...

Leave weekends
As previously mentioned, leave weekends are difficult for some of us. Now I could have sworn that I'd read somewhere that the school was to begin keeping a boarding house or two open again "due to demand". Now I'm beginning to wonder if I dreamt it, as I can't find mention of it anywhere i...

Re: 2012 Admissions Thread
My daughter wobbled a bit when I had my son. There's ten years between them. She became so attached to him so quickly that she felt she couldn't leave him. I did manage to persuade her that she shouldn't sacrifice her big chance for him, but it was a bit touch and go for a while there! She is loving...
