Hi, does anyone have any current experience of BCS? Would be looking for Yr 9 boy starting next September. He is suffering with being middle of the road in a big comprehensive, bumbling along with the work, low expectation on him, getting into low level trouble frequently. He's sporty, perfectly good academically but not outstanding and was a good student before finding that just the bare minimum of effort satisfies the requirements of this school. Be interested to know any current opinions as I know when the schools first collaborated it wasn't particularly well thought of. Thanks!

Don't know about BCS, but think you have just described my son too!

So frustrating isn't it!

Any other updates, as I would also be interested to hear.

I can’t advise on that school, my daughter is younger, so no experience with secondary schools. Friends have sent their sporty kids to Leaf Studio, it might be an option

Thanks, I think leaf is a bit far for us without a school bus etc. Know a couple of kids who love it there though.
