I think RGS will be great for ur DS. I am not sure whether my DS will get Salesian as we are not catholic. Recently Salesian has been awarded outstanding by ISI. X

He falls into the category of a good all rounder rather than an academic. He likes the sport, particularly football at Salesian but we wonder whether Salesian is a little outdated . He sat lord wandsworth and was invited to sit scholarship papers but we think it is too small and not competitive enough.

How about u kay34? Is ur DS keen in RGS only? Looking at the thread, looks like all NOs has gone out. X

He prefer RGS as his brother is there too. He took reading blue coat as well.

Kay34 · 28/01/2015 20:58

Is rgs his favourite or is he tempted elsewhere? I think most of us on this thread have a similar decision.

Kay34 · 28/01/2015 20:55

He's done amazingly to get that far. They deserve something in any event for the extra effort!

Wellington15 · 28/01/2015 20:52

Boys had a tour too. Maths was harder esp last few questions. He couldnt complete the last one. I am not that worried as i told him good work as he came this far! X

Wellington, hope.today went well for your DS.

Wellington15 · 28/01/2015 15:56

I heard that the school would hv known today n that we will know tomorrow??

We're still waiting (albeit not v hopefully - DS had an essay disaster). It's supposed to be this week I think. Apparently they tell the schools the day before!

Anyone heard from Salesian yet? Other schools are starting to offer and the (fingers crossed) silence from RGS but nothing from Salesian.

Yes Tom likes Salesian too, but has his heart set on RGS, like most of us.

Butty saw you on RGS thread. DS did Salesian too. He thought Salesian much better, finished all papers and came out laughing. He really likes Salesian.

He found the comprehension more challenging that the other papers. Others he found pretty straight forward.
