To worry about student loans, or not?
Hi! I started a uni course in 2002, which ended in 2005. I received student loans for each year I was there. I've never worked full time since coming out of uni, due to falling pregnant in my last year and having my children straight after leaving.

Experience of the 12+ anyone?
Hi, I have had 2 sons pass the 11+ exam, but last year my 3rd son failed the 11+. However, his teacher and the staff at the Grammar involved have encouraged him to sit the 12+ in a few months time.
