I think we have narrowed down our Indie applications to Dulwich College and Alleyns. Ds did very well in the recent grammar school tests in another area. Is this an indication that he would be of the right academic standard for these schools? Ds is quite sporty and also plays a slightly unusual orchestral instrument to Grade 4. He is very shy so I'm worried about the interviews should he get through as we'll need financial support for him to go and he is not the sort of boy to 'sell himself' despite his achievements.
We also liked one SS grammar but won't find out the results until March. If Ds is lucky enough to be offered one of the coveted places, can an indie financial support offer be improved/negotiated?
There is some recent info on here about Alleyns but can anyone update on what DC is like. It seemed to have some very confident boys when we looked around on the Open day.
