The Trinity-Whitgift thread of 2013 continued

sorry, privilege.

Shazoom - please drop it now? You've made your point. We all get it. It's not perfect. Please write a letter to the HM. Or whatever. It's enough now.

I am asking really nicely - like Soup said - this thread has already been spoiled. Please go and start another thread for gripes of current parents. As you once started secondary school with rose-tinted glasses and became disillusioned, I would like to be afforded the same priviledge.

soup - how am I any different to you on this thread? You went through this in a prior year and so did I. You offered opinions of your current school for your DS, so did I. Not sure why people and indeed you got wound up by me giving my opinions of Life at Whitgift.

blimey, 'may contain nuts' has nothing on this thread . there is no school gate, as divamum said 'no one gets out of their car". plus its too muddy in the car park ATM plus if I turned up at the w gate my son would die of embarrassment. Shazoom/cinders stop it now, before you get your knickers in a twist.

not sure why you are sticking up for Burnt but not Kylep where aspersions have been cast as well?

Lol. Because BoD has PMed me and Kylep hasn't! I've absolutely no idea or comments to make about Kylep. No reason to to the them at face value so far as I can see but, TBH, I haven't been dissecting their comments. However, I did have "information" about BoD that is not on the open forum.

Anyway, I only came back to comment on your remark about BoD that "his DS had the perfect ride through the Whitgift admissions process". This is laughable when looked at alongside the neurotic* and fretting PMs I had :) His ride through the W admissions process is no more or less perfect that my DS2s was (although we turned down a scholarship) and I sure as hell am not a staff member.

Hope you enjoy passing this snippet on to your fellow car park chatters :)

• and I mean this in a friendly and understanding manner :o

This thread has been completely spoiled by gossip, rumour, troll hunting and conspiracy theorists. Which is why I am hiding it.

Croydonmumtods - you are amazing.

Burnt - if you are a member of staff, I just realised that I told you about getting a brazilian on this forum. Oh my word, I seriously hope you didn't interview us!!!

Shaz - please help me here - which member of staff is it?

Enter donkey stage left!

burnt - if you don't return, can we still use your and croydonmum's donkeys (if they don't all end up in school dinners?)

Well burnt you do have to admit, this is conflict at its best, it is the best development you could've asked for your T&W real life soap after a promising first sequence...unless you are writing this whole screenplay yourself...
Now, that would genius!

burnt just pm'd you as thought you weren't coming back . Glad you couldn't keep away.

Burntoutdad ---Will miss you're ramblings, if you decide not to return...Good luck to your Ds...he has a bright future ahead of him (regardless of what life throws at him) with a father like you!

For gods sake Shazz give it a rest. I work for myself so can spend as long as i like (which is more than i should) posting here. And only because it is regarding the one issue that has taken over my life the last few months - getting my DS into the school of our choice.
Im the kind of person that likes detail and considering that my DS in involved have researched as much as i can, i only have the same information that is avaiable to anyone who cares to look for it or ask the right questions. I dont care who you think i am, but do worry now that i am so famous through gate gossip that my DW will find out how long i have spent on this forum!
Sorry if i offended anyone with the word girly btw but this is so irelevant.
Cant beleive i had to explain myself!
And Soup thank you for your info when i asked it did come in useful. (No Shazz thats not code!)

nothingyummy

soup - since I asked how it all came to this - went back through all my posts and not sure that I had spread rumour and gossip about anybody? Questioned a poster, yes, and mentioned that same poster had ruffled my feathers.

In any case. For clarification. I don't work for anyone. Or at least not anymore. Because I have now just about lost all jobs through non-delivery sitting on MN. So, if anyone wants to recruit me, please pm.

Yes, sense of humour restored. Once again. Maybe we can develop a secret handshake to recognise each other?

How many request have we had on mumsnet where someone enquired about Whitgift.
We would get the usual replies it?s sporty but a good school etc, etc.
I would have guessed one of those request would have been the time for cinder55,
to have posted this very informative info about the school so forgive me if I take all
cinder55 rant with a bucket full of salt.
By the way no one gets out of their car in the Big side car park, everyone sits in
Their car and wait for their sons, I never see any parents speaking to each other.
It?s one of the most unfriendly school in regards to parents contact with each other.

Ok if you say so....not sure why you are sticking up for Burnt but not Kylep where aspersions have been cast as well?

I'm going to let you all get on with it.

I hope your DSs all thrive in their new schools. :)

But don't let that stop the rumour mill.

Well, if he is a staff member he is spectacularly uninformed about how the whole process works.

soup - Why?

You are hilarious, Shaz00m.

Hooray...thank you because I am seriously lost with the recent threads!!

We all started off the same, the majority I presume applied to both schools. Choices have been made. Choices that are best for our DS's. Be happy for everyone.

soupyears since I've been associated with the word girlish so ok by me

Have a read of all burnts posts and make your own mind up. we are well impressed with the amount of time he did have to post on here during the working day, and is now gracefully bowing out!
