Open Day panic

Well you were all right. It went really well. We were shown around by a lovely year 10 girl and came away very impressed.
I asked DD what she liked best about the school (I thought I knew what her reply would be, they have a pool) and she said "The students. They were all really nice and friendly, not at all stuck up but seemed proud of the school"
We were there for three hours, but it didn't seem that long as there was so much to see. DD really wants to go there but understands that it will only be possible with a BIG bursary.
Fingars, toes, eyes and everything else crossed now.

ZOrro - well said! No-one will remotely care what you wear - most are not interested ion the parents anyway - only the children, and will go out of theri way to make them welcome. You could avoid that expereince tho' and do a vist at another time. You could also sound them out in advance about bursaries, so as not to waste your time por DDs expectations if they do not offer enough.
Best Regards,
