Salesian Farnborough

[butty4]

Anyone's boys do the entrance exam last Tuesday......do you know how many boys sat the exam?

[Mumtogremlins]

My DS sat the exam but not sure how many did. How did he find it?

[butty4]

He found the comprehension more challenging that the other papers. Others he found pretty straight forward.

[Kay34]

Butty saw you on RGS thread. DS did Salesian too. He thought Salesian much better, finished all papers and came out laughing. He really likes Salesian.

[butty4]

Yes Tom likes Salesian too, but has his heart set on RGS, like most of us.

[Kay34]

Anyone heard from Salesian yet? Other schools are starting to offer and the (fingers crossed) silence from RGS but nothing from Salesian.

[fullsuspension]

We're still waiting (albeit not v hopefully - DS had an essay disaster). It's supposed to be this week I think. Apparently they tell the schools the day before!

[Wellington15]

I heard that the school would hv known today n that we will know tomorrow??

[Kay34]

Wellington, hope.today went well for your DS.

[Wellington15]

Boys had a tour too. Maths was harder esp last few questions. He couldnt complete the last one. I am not that worried as i told him good work as he came this far! X

[Kay34]

He's done amazingly to get that far. They deserve something in any event for the extra effort!

[Kay34]

Is rgs his favourite or is he tempted elsewhere? I think most of us on this thread have a similar decision.

[Wellington15]

He prefer RGS as his brother is there too. He took reading blue coat as well.

[Wellington15]

How about u kay34? Is ur DS keen in RGS only? Looking at the thread, looks like all NOs has gone out. X

[Kay34]

He falls into the category of a good all rounder rather than an academic. He likes the sport, particularly football at Salesian but we wonder whether Salesian is a little outdated . He sat lord wandsworth and was invited to sit scholarship papers but we think it is too small and not competitive enough.

[Wellington15]

I think RGS will be great for ur DS. I am not sure whether my DS will get Salesian as we are not catholic. Recently Salesian has been awarded outstanding by ISI. X

[Kay34]

Reading looks like the perfect mix between the two. Just a bit awkward to travel to for us. Similar to Hampton, academic footballers! But too far for us.

[Wellington15]

Hi, just found out from Salesian that the results are being sent today so we will receive tomoz. X

[fullsuspension]

Thanks Wellington. Getting a bit stressed here, plus the fall off in GCSE results of his state options isn't really helping my mood

[Kay34]

Wellington, you have made me think twice. I may post on the rgs thread for info about sport at rgs. Thx

[Wellington15]

Hope all with the GCSE option. I hv to choose this year for my eldest. He is not keen in languages! Tough choices

[Wellington15]

Got the post this morning and DS has got into Salesian. X

[Kay34]

Congratulations Wellington - we only find out when I get home later today.....

[sazzy5]

We got an offer too. Decisions!

[Wellington15]

Brilliant! Congratulations sazzy5 ????

[sazzy5]

Wellington you seem to be having choices too, have you got a preference?
