11 +

Had DD on the phone this afternoon, quite teary TBH.
G/S is taking his 11+ in September as many others are .
She is telling me that the completion is really fierce.
What can I say , he is a bright little chap {as all G/P say].
I suppose the bottom line is :- What will be will be .
Anyone else in this situation?

No, No not at all Purwell, in fact as there are so few Grammar schools the completion is greater.

I'd say be very sure why they are taking it, I did and passed then had great fall from grace when my father said I wasn't to go to the grammar as he didn't believe in them. It would have been better if I hadn't taken it.

When tasha and the boys took it we were adamant if they got through we would do our best to get them into the grammar, tasha passed but no places available. So dissapointment again.

Thanks, I am a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to text speech, but I understand your concern having gone down that road with 2 granddaughters and seeing what they went through.
