Not TG any more!

Post by totally_gutted »

It's been a while since my last post but I wanted to share some good news with you.

Following an unsuccessful appeal last year, our complaint to the EFA was rejected and DS took his place at local comp. He made a brilliant start, top sets, high target grades and excellent attitude to learning scores. Yet still he wanted to go to GS.
Having taken the school's own tests for in year admission some 7 weeks ago (!) we heard today that he has a place for Y8 :D :D although they have said he can start asap!

So proud of him for not giving up and for having the courage to give it another go and following his dream.

Ps. Comp blazer & tie for sale :wink:

Well done to you and your DS for not giving up.

Great news - for both you and your son.

Can I ask why you took it to the EFA last year and why they didn't uphold your complaint?
