Cheers!

There doesn't seem to be much information about Saturday 8th November on this link.

I think if anyone is interested they will probably need to call the school and put their name down on the open day.

Now perhaps Zorro can admit there are some excellent schools that are totally FREE!!

I'm sure there are but not around here.

I do believe though that exceptionally gifted children and many with special needs cannot be catered for in state schools and there is a culture of bullying or stigmatism from peers and unfortunately adults, who should know better, when a child is very able.

So, yes there are good schools out there but it is very much one size fits all. Believe me, life would be so much easier, and CHEAPER if academically my DS was an average Joe.

What alternative would you choose if there were no GS schools, and no chance of getting into one? I think most would opt, and rightly so, for an independent school if they could afford one.

Tipsy - state schools are like that around here. I've also taught in other parts of the country where everybody chose state because they were better.

You cannot generalis about SEN or G&T either - I have friends who took their child out of our local independent because she was bored - also others who were shocked at the attitude of another local independent towards their bright child who uses a wheelchair ...

It is not black and white - just grey - and we all try to judge the best for our own children
