Dear Parents and Careers,
To my sadness and with broken heart I must accept that DC failed his 11+ exams into his first choices grammar schools.
However, the hope is left and I would like to help DS. Your opinion and advice are very important to our family decision.
We live near Waltham Cross are ready to relocate. We are not exams tourists, just trying to put DC into the most suitable school to him (hyperactive and driven by the majority).
Basing on the exam results into part selective and grammar school, I think to put list of preferences in order:
- Hockerill Anglo-European College in Bishop's Stortford ( there is a chance to go through the MLAT test, score is 84, maybe WL, best option to relocate and good commuting from our current place of living)
- Colchester Royal Grammar School ( 330 score is not to high but there is a possibility to enter through the WL in September/ October, will need to relocate faster, thinking to move into Chelmsford because this good for commuting for every one of us)
- Broxbourne School ( the best school in our area, MLAT score is 38, high possibility to be accepted, not too far from us but less academic then 4th choice)
- St Clement's Danes school in Rickmanworth ( score is 212, maybe WL, relocation needed, do not have too much idea about this area -will see today, commuting will take longer. I am afraid we lost chance to get a place into Parmiter's although people whom I know got lower scores this year but there are only three places for OOC)
I do not want put our nearest school into the list because there are plenty of spaces each year in it. Others schools around are definitely will not fit to my son.
Do you think, the list in the correct order or should to exchange position?🤔
I would be appreciated if someone who was/is in the same situation share with his/her experience.
Thank you🙂
