sounds like is - the local secondary schools here have made a much better impression in my opinion.

Agreed one Grammar we went to I was not Impressed at all after hearing so much about it the Head Master would not even speak to us and he came to the canteen and sat at a table beside us I really didn't like that.

would that be a certain newly amalgamated grammar ????

Spoke to ds head about this as my son was ill on the 3rd test right up to that morning we were not sure he would take it will wait for the marks to see

In the murky world of special circumstances who knows what goes on - I've heard lots of stories of abuse of the system and with no transparency what hope do the genuine kids have?

I would like to think they would be fair to those who genuinely do have special circumstances. Unfortunately I have nothing to declare.

Rainbowmac

Just find it all very secretive and unkind let's face it all kids could have special circumstances depending on how you fill in your form
Roll on 30th I looked for 2015 scores too found nothing ��

The whole system is a mess! Even within primary school I see so many inconsistencies and teachers covering up stuff that I really can't get my head round it at times. Rules for one and rules for another etc etc.
