Offer holder day 11plus

[Saskia11]

dd has got all her offers and we are most likely to take one. Not sure if it is worth going to another school offer day to compare, even though we are quite set on the other school?

what are you all doing if you have a firm favourite school and most likely will take that- is it a waste of time going to see another school?

Don’t drive yourself mad. If you have an offer and like the school and DD is happy then just accept it and relax. I got pressured into visiting so many schools - some of which I knew we didn’t want.

We had 5 offers and went to all of them. I didn't see it as a waste of time although we have a firm favourite - dd will spend seven years of her life there so we wanted to be as thorough as possible. Plus it was nice for dd to do the taster activities and meet others in the cohort. I didn't have to take time off to do the visits - it might feel less worth it if it ate into annual leave.

Yes I do have to take annual leave for the other holder day- but I do have lots to take. I am torn, because on the one hand it is good to compare, but I feel one school is excellent with their marketing, so don’t want that to sway her! But she should also get to enjoy what she has achieved and decide for herself.
