I had 3 of my male pupils go to Camp Hill 2 years ago. All were very different kind of boys (sporty, musical, geeky) and all are perfectly happy at Camp Hill. In fact, 2 of them are much happier than at their state primary school where they were considered odd.
The exam will sort it out for you, anyway, and, as you say, we are lucky if our children win a place at any of these selective schools.

Hi All You folks In Brum,
Have been absent from site for a while, so apologies in not contributing to any threads.
I would like to wholeheartedly wish each and every one of you and your DC's good luck .
This time last year was a very stressful time, but all I can say is that amongst my friends there were a mixed set of outcomes on results day- some of great joy and some who thought it was the end of the world. Fast forward 11months and I can say that each and every single child and parents are very happy where their child has ended up.
With loving, supportive parents an able child will achieve anywhere.
Good luck.

ps last year we distracted ourselves with jokes, pics etc. esp for Clarendon , who I think is running out of choc and wine supplies.

We are very lucky in that our ds has got an assisted place at KES, which is where he really wanted to go. I must say I have found the whole process very stressful, even though I thought I wouldn't. I agree that I feel for the children as I think it is a lot to take on at the age of 10, and particularly the King Edward's exam was quite daunting with all those people there. We got there early to be on the safe side, and my ds said the worse part of the exam was sitting there having to wait for 3 quarters of an hour in silence feeling increasingly nervous about what was to come. I just felt so awful when they walked him away and when he came out of the exam he looked so drained. Luckily he doesn't seem too damaged by the whole experience, and it is something he really wanted to do even though I did warn him it would be hard work.
I must say I have found this site very helpful as I knew nothing about how to prepare for the 11+ and particularly Fm's and Ken R's posts have been very informative. I would like to wish everyone the best of luck for the 2nd March.
