    Poor blokes, I think they are all going to be eaten alive:eek:

    Just returned from 6th Form with Carl and he has officially been offered a place to study A level Maths, physics, computing and Music technology. The place had a lovely atmosphere mixture of old school buildings teamed up with a new build section with state of the art facilities.

    I hope he settles in OK:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    No you don't Maz, although I think more Scottish colleges are starting to take school age kids for vocational courses rather than having them drop out of education.
