Greater Manchester Independent Schools

[MatLeavePlanning]

Offer day for the schools in the Greater Manchester Consortium was yesterday, how did everyone get on?

Offers from the three we applied for, Withington Girls, Man High and Stockport Grammar School, one with scholarship and two without....now weighing it all up and finding the process quite stressful! How about you OP?

Congratulations on the scholarship, is that going to be the deciding factor do you think?
offers from Cheadle, Stockport Grammar and Manchester High over here.

Im not sure actually because although it is quite alluring to be offered it, it wasn’t actually out first choice school. I think we are going to visit two again and then choose. Obviously financially it does help. Which are you going for?

How much is the scholarship ?

We have tours booked but SGS is the favourite so far.

20%

That’s great. Which is your DD’s preference so far?

She really liked Man High so probably that is her first choice but it's logistically a lot harder for us...so just working out if it's worth the financial saving and extra travel etc. Also we have another DC at another school (2 years overlap in terms of them both being in seniors). That complicates things!
