Dd has just been offered a place at Alleyn's from the waiting list. She was very upset not to have been offered a place initially and we have had to accept a place at whs in the meantime. Haven't told her yet as wanted to discuss with dh first and pretty sure that she'll want to go to Alleyn's - had lots of tears over initial rejection. Just not sure if she was more upset about not going there or the rejection itself. I think she'll be fine wherever she goes as she's pretty self assured. She wanted mixed as she currently at mixed primary and gets on well with the boys and she worried that all girls might be quite cliquey/bitchy. Her particular strengths are maths and art but pretty much an all rounder, although not especially sporty. Helpful insight and opinions very welcome.
