Vido our principal said that 104 would get a grammar school place but may not be good enough for Grosvenor. Its well I lost respect for the man a long time ago and went on my own gut feelings.

Jim, I must remember the Inst thing for Podium (even though we have no Inst connection) :rotfl:

Ballynahinch Dad, well done to your son. :T :T Saintfield High is a good school. If we had decent secondary schools in East Belfast I would never have been so worked up about things.

Right you are all convincing me to go to Warnocks now and buy a uniform. Son is away all next week though so it won't happen on Monday. Being from the East I would normally have thought of Gowdys or Littles.

Anyone think uniform shops will be open on Mon with it being the bank holiday and all?

I would say they will be. Most retail places are.

See we can buy the Grosvenor PE/Games kit on the 21st June at the school. Wonder how much that will come to? :eek:

Well its a Canterbury tracksuit so I would say we are looking at £80ish for that. :eek: It then says this on the website:

BOYS' P E & GAMES KIT

P E
Royal blue T shirt
White shorts
White socks
Training shoes

GAMES
Grosvenor GS rugby jersey (Green, blue & white hoops)
Navy shorts
Rugby socks (Green, blue, white hoops)
Boots (rugby/or soccer)

Do they choose whether they are doing football or rugby or do the end up doing both? The PE uniform alone is going to cost 10 fortunes. :eek:

No football in Grosvenor until 5th year so its either rugby or hockey. I dread to think how much it will all cost, best get purchasing before the discount runs out. Which shop is best for the Grosvenor uniform??

Ex-Spendaholic

According to the website boys uniform can be bought in Warnocks, Littles, Gowdys or Wood Stuart in Arthur Street.

I seem to remember someone telling me that the D Crawford place in Ards (and was in Belfast too) did the same blazers as everywhere else but charged a lot less.

We haven't even bought a tie yet despite all the plans.

Yes I know what u mean but were are so delighted that she got into Grosvenor and 3 of her wee friends also got in so she is over the moon as we are.

Its an excellent school. Maybe all our kids will meet in September and talk about their nutty mothers. :rotfl:
