I have another thread on the teenagers section about DD explaining her situation and needs.
DD has just come in and showed me a letter from a Grammar school Inviting her for an interview ( Despite her being 17) and out of year.
Unbeknown to me and her Senco, she had sent off two applications to Grammar schools in the next county attached with a letter explaining her circumstances and how she has not had the appropriate education and has had issues at her Comprehensive. In the letter she explains how she has gone from E grades to expected A* grades because of her focus and the help of her Senco. I had no idea about these applications and because of my DDs issues , I am worried that she will get knocked back due to her age and previous behaviour at school . She has though explained both of these issues in the letter.
Whatever the outcome , I am very proud of her writing this letter and showing determination and her own initiative in applying.
Connect with other parents whose children are starting secondary school on this forum.
Secondary education
I am in a quandary of whether I should let DD have a interview for a 6th form place at a Girls Grammar.
