Dear Mums,
We are thinking of sending our son to Hockerill Anglo-European College.
It has amazing reviews, it appears very good structured, good music schooo, international background, exchange programmes, IB, overall - it suits us very well....
... however it is a comprehensive school, and though it makes no difference especially if the school is very good, we also have (hopefully) options to send our son to the grammar schools (he already passed some pre application admissions tests - so we are kind of confident that he will get in). It could hence mean that we wasted a year of rat racing, schooling, extra lessons, past papers :), as at the end, by sending him to Hockerill, we would chose comprehensive over the grammar school.
What is however key, is that we make a right decision, and frankly... we are confused.
Please help with some good advice on this school, and your view on it vs grammar schools.
Many thanks,
Concerned Mum.
