My ds (year11) wants to go to GC. Whilst reports are good, I'm concerned that it will be too easy for him to slip under radar, he lacks self motivation and focus and really needs quite a lot of monitoring to achieve to the best of his ability. I know if he wants to go to uni this is a necessary skill but he just isn't there yet ! Alternatives would be a school sixth form (Howard or George Abbot) or smaller independent school. Don't think he would get into more competitive schools. He's looking at mostly 6/7 at GCSE. Grateful for thoughts/experiences.
