My son is doing a grammar school entrance exam in December. Its a 13+ entry (Kent has some weird anomalies in schools). My worry is that if he gets in he'll spend the following six months just cruising on minimum possible effort while his school friends are preparing for Common Entrance. In fact I'm 99% sure that this will happen as he's always getting into trouble for doing the least amount of work he can get away with. Does anyone have experience of this? Someone I know mentioned that there's a school in France that offers short courses for English kids in similar positions. He's also really into music, so some sort of music course? I'd really love to hear if anyone has similar experience.
