If your not in ya cant win....do u know if there are many appeals in for grosvenor?

travellinglight_2

no idea. There may be others given the tie break situation?
Noone else from our ds's school is appealing. One other had it 1st but score was 101... so he's going to wellington and is resigned to it now.

Good luck to everyone appealing! It's going to be a long hard summer waiting in anticipation at the outcome! Let's hope it will all be worth it!

Me and Mrs Jones...wanted to put out an announcement tonight to meet you. How did you find the open night? My son glad to be in class with otherss he knew, but said on way home, "Don't be buying the uniform or anything Mum". Sums it up.

Mr Simons. Had quick glance at info supplied. Lots of repetition. Pretty poor quality. Here's hoping!

Is your son in a class with anyone he knows - or more to the point with anyone you or he want him to know!!?

I have 2 sons that go to Wellington and both love the school. The school is quite small compared to others and there is a real 'family' atmosphere in the school. Teachers are excellent and a friend of my elder son moved to another school this year and is hating it, they said that the Wellington teachers are much better and treat the kids better. Mr Simon's taught me when I was there and has hardly aged in over 20yrs. Your son will enjoy the school, we have no complaints whatsoever.
