DS passed the 11+ and based on the score and the FOI lists of scores which have been published, it's highly likely that he'll be offered a place at Reading Boys, the grammar. He has also received an offer of a place at Bluecoat, private. We are local to both so travelling is not an issue. . DS is sporty and a personable child - but quite sensitive and can get anxious - to be honest, he's surprised us by the results but we are really proud of him . We can do the fees for BC if that's the decision. My main concerns are whether emotionally, he'll handle the 'academicness' (sorry don't know how to put it) at Reading Boys - or whether I'm just being a bit over protective and should see this as an amazing opportunity to go to a very good school. He could potentially move for year 9 to Bluecoat if it all went wrong but I am wavering between the two. We'll only have a week to make a decision once the Secondary schools results come out as BC is decision time by 9th March.....
