Anyone travelling from Lichfield to Bishop Vesey

[nicolajane1971]

Just on an off chance do we have any Y7 September starters that will be traveling from Lichfield City Station to Sutton Coldfield for Bishop Vesey? Would be great for my DS to have a 'friend' that he can travel with. Not that I'm fretting or anything....... (much!).

I will PM you later. All things being equal, if my son attains a place at BV, he will take two trains, one to Lichfield (I prefer this to New Street), and then from Lichfield to Sutton Station.

Thanks Optimist, is your DS still on the wait list? I hadn't made it clear he is a September starter.

Sorry nicolajane1971. I had a thick moment. My DS is doing the exam in Sept, and should hopefully (if he passes) start in 2Sept 014).

My daft DS managed to find a friend who apparently lives around the corner but failed to get the important info like his name and phone number, he's such a numpty!

You could try e-mailing the school asking that your details are passed to anyone else living close to you so that you can liaise about travel arrangements.

We did this last year before DD1 started CHG, and they were happy to help.

We were able to make contact with several other local families, and it made sure she got the bus at the same stop as another girl...... they're best buddies now

It's CHG open evening tonight and I'm taking DD2 round - she's keen to follow her sister (fingers crossed).

Thanks sasa, we'll give that a go. My DD is going into Y5 this September so about to go through the whole stressful, vile, horrid process again. It's taken me this long to recover from DS!
