I went to an all girls' grammar and know no different so looking for assurance that attending a single sex school/grammar isn't the be all! My DH went to local comp and left with 3 GCSEs and although he's in a good trade now it's not the education I'd imagined for my DC.
My parents were pushy but poor so I had no coaching and scraped my 11+ to get in but I was academic. My DD is clever and 'above average' in term of her ability (she's 9) but a bit (very) lazy with it. I think she'd need a push to get through the 11+.
She'll sit her 11+ in the November of Y6. WIBU to start her on weekly coaching from September of Y5 (a full year of prep)?
I'm not bothered about the cost if she fails/passes I just want to give her the best opportunity. Am I being a pushy parent?
