Ilford County Questions
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 10:42 am
Hello all,
I would be very grateful if any existing Ilford County parent is willing to answer a few questions about the school? It wasn't possible to get answers for many of there on the Open Day
Thanks! Here goes:
1. How would you rate the opportunity for extra-curricular sports? My ds is particularly interested in football and cricket. Are there clubs for these?
2. What are the musical opportunities like for someone who is keen but not that advanced?
3. In reality, how heavy is the homework?
4. Can you choose which language your child opts for in Year 7?
5. We were told on the open day that there is alot of emphasis on assessments throughout the term in most subjects. What is that like? Is it stressful?
6. Is the teaching 'Outstanding'?
7. What is the Head like?
8. Is there a strong sense of community in the school?
9. Do your ds's really enjoy going to school?!
10. Any complaints/criticisms?
11. Would you say that the school has a Maths/Science bias?
Answers to any of these are much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tabassum.
PS: These questions were asked by another patents about a grammer school in the Surrey area and I though they were brilliant.
