DS just passed his CE exam to get into Hampton with straight A's/As.
We are pleased but wonder if anyone knows if this is scholarship level or whether you would be expected to get straight As at a school like this to reach the scholarship level?
Only reason to ask is we slightly feel the school has let us down in initially recommending fairly average (academically) schools to us, and now perhaps in this matter as well, i.e. in not wanting him to sit the scholarship paper.
A few other children got scholarships, but to less academic schools, so we don't know if the fact that he was the only child to get straight A's is relevant or not....
Obviously if this (straight A's at 13+) is normal at this level (given that the majority of GCSEs are at A* perhaps it is) then we won't feel any sort of bitterness at losing out on I guess £10k?
