Hello everyone,


My son in year five at a local state primary school has been recommended by the headmaster to attend an academic enrichment programme at Westminster Underschool. He starts the academic enrichment programme next month 9(Feb 2017) and it entitles him to take an admissions exam to this prestigious private school and possibly qualify for a scholarship or bursary to attend.


This, of course, would be a wonderful thing as there is not much of a chance I could afford to send him to a private secondary school.


Would anyone be willing to share experience or tips on how to go about this? I am planning on getting a tutor, but I have a feeling there is a lot more I need to know about giving him the best possible chance of getting a place there. I am aware that schools like this sometimes need to offer scholarship places to less well off children (i.e. parents) in order to qualify for charity status. I'm more interested in getting him in to the school. We visited it and it looks good.


I would greatly appreciate any advice along these lines.


Please PM me if you can help.


Mary

    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting  but the Tories, 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  
    • We have had 4 greyhounds - the last one, a bitch, was not speyed so we  had to pay for that at our local vet.  Only one dog was nervous around children and only one was cat friendly.
    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
