She's only in year 7 at a very academic grammar school, I know it's obviously very early days and she may well change her mind many many times but I could really do with some advice. There are two elements to advice I need really, one is how I deal with the more emotional side of this - at the moment she is being very black and white about it, it's Cambridge or nothing and clearly there are no guarantees that she's even cambridge material let alone get in. She has really flourished since starting at the grammar, it's so lovely to see her enjoying school and doing so well that I want to do everything to encourage her, but at the same time I don't want to set her up for a fall. Any pointers would be very much appreciated, she's the eldest of three so it's all new to me.
I'd also love to know what's involved in attempting to get into Cambridge, what kind of academic record they look for? what kind of student? are there things she could be doing now to help her in the future?
Oh she's thinking of English or History.
