kingston 2730 - not fussed on the polyester blazers myself, I think you can buy them and sew the appropriate schools badge on - or was that just in my day!? I like the wool ones but they're pricey, I suppose you get what you pay for. Don't understand why polyester-secondary and wool- grammar?? I agree with Ex-spendaholic , it'll be a pleasure to see my child kitted out in a wool blazer grammar school uniform ,- then I'll start wingeing about the price of it all!!

Ps Been into any chemists recently?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shhh: Uniform watch!

On a funnier note, another thing about Larne Grammar is that their blazers are polyester and not wool like the others...ick!!!!! :rotfl:I work in the community and the last while I have found myself looking at school children passing by to see what their uniforms are like. I even stopped into Gordon's in Carrick to check out the different uniforms...hope this makes some of you laugh...yes I am very sad, but harmless really!!! :rotfl:

It's probably me missing something! - Gordons is one in a chain of Chemists..is it not??

Yes it is but presumably there must be a uniform shop in Carrick called Gordons too.

:rotfl::rotfl:ahhhhh I understand now. For the life of me, I could not figure out what you meant by the chemist!!!! Yes Gordons is the main uniform supplier in our area. Bonno, you're a scream, thinking I was hanging out at the chemist just to see the kids go past in their uniforms!! No thats not what I do, I just wait outside the local grammar schools to see them all coming out in their uniforms :rotfl::T This has brightened up what was otherwise a rather dreary day for me so thankyou Bonno for that

Hi Bonno, any idea what it is they are going to publish? I just hope its something meaningful ie.breakdown of number of pupils who wrote the test per geographical region

Wonder why they are waiting until end of April? Surely they know all they need to know now? Also, it's a bit late telling everyone that their area had low/high scores when all the places have already been applied for and allocated. I just hope everyone stuck to their guns and appied to schools in order of preference and not in the order they thought they might have a chance of getting into because this year has been so confusing who knows what way it will turn out and what scores schools may go down to??

Hi Kingston, I don't think we are ever going to find out our raw scores or the standardised table that was used, so it will probably be a breakdown of scores and number or percentage of children on a each mark - more than likely it will be in small groups. Not sure about areas? All I know is the highest score was 128, @450 children acheived over 120, a few children scored full marks on 1 test but not on 2 and that the average of these tests (100) was a very high average.

It's very disappointing at this stage not to know more, and there is absolutely nothing we can do except............ wait........................
