Hello, feeling a bit confused and needing to hear from any of you who have kids in one of these schools:))
I need to decide on what order to put these schools down on the CAF form:
Graveney; we got 245 which just might get my daughter in late August/early September. She is arty and decently academic. I liked the school when I visited but cannot remember what the Art department looked like, believe it or not..
Kingsdale; we got an half scholarship in music. With the intent of course to apply for the Srt one of she gets in. Looks like it might, just might, give us some kind of tiny priority when we are put on the waiting list. So, again, might be a late August business. Really really liked the school when visited.
Norwood; we got an art scholarship. Loved the art department but not an academic school and unsure about some of the kids’ behaviour when visiting. Coming from a strict catholic school, it did surprise me... My little one being a bit of a follower too.
Ursuline; a bit far from us but potentially my favourite catholic option. We have been doing the weekly masses for years and have priest’s reference etc. Good academically but not impressed by Art department. But very polite and sensible young girls produced by the school.
BTG: same as above really but I would probably prefer a girls only if I have to choose.
Not sure how to proceed on form. Do we stand a chance with Graveney (predicted mark for end of August offer is 248) and is it worth including it? Did anyone here got into Kingsdale on s half scholarship?
Anyone with children in Norwood who could tell me how they are finding it?
Any ad I’ve greatly appreciated!
