Fantastic news :D Can’t believe how slowly the list has moved this year. We haven’t received anything about Induction Day yet, just a few forms to complete regarding emergency contacts etc.

Fantastic news! So happy for you and in time for induction (and open evening on Thus?) What a chug at the end, but hope your son is one very happy boy today.

That's brilliant news Paul. The planning can begin. Induction day is around the corner as well.

I bet your son is over the moon.

Yeah I've not heard anything yet either.

I reckon we should hear something this week as my school will be sending out letters this week for the new year 7s. We are all preparing for induction day on the 4th.

paulgreen- that is fabulous news, so very pleased for you and your son that it was worth the wait. Excellent stuff!
I forgot to update that I called HGS a few weeks ago to ask about the timetable for the induction day- as far as they were aware the schedule is 8:30 ish drop off, then parents meeting at 3pm. I know it’s what was already posted on here, but I needed something more formal to prove my need to escape my school at the end of the day.

Another great boy joining y7.

ds205 I used to go to that school MANY MANY YEARS AGO!

Currently, GD is an ok school/academy. Leadership and management is good. The teaching and learning is good as well. They did go through some difficult times but it looks like things are turning around.
Thank you very much for the feedback Caveman

hmmm..... it is hard to digest the fact but will still wait and see;hoping for the best.
Thank you for sharing your honest opinion.
