Sixth form trial is week after next.

Current school does 4 days, prospective school does two days. They over lap so atm DS is thinking of 2 days at each school.

Prospective school suggested 5 AS levels and has him down for Further Maths. Hmm He will not be doing 5 AS levels, that's just silly. He doesn't even like Maths, although he's not bad at it.

And prospective school didn't ask about any SN, unlike Grammar school, or FE college where he could also do A'levels. DH went to the "interview" with DS and wouldn't have thought to raise it. Not sure if I should bother at this stage. I'm hoping DS will see for himself the school won't suit him.

Chilling out after finishing here - well, DS is; I'm still motivating DS1 who finishes A levels next week. Hmm

Grin Relaxing with friends tomorrow and Friday, working Saturday. Prom and sixth form trial day next week.

Checking in from the smug zone. DD finished this afternoon and is planning on sleeping and watching crap TV until the weekend.

Good luck to all still taking exams. It does seem like a dreadfully long time since Art at the end of April.
