Hello, I am a newbe here, first of all thanks to all the people on this forum it has been a great source of information for me.
I am Italian and I don't know a lot about the English system, I have been living here for 12 years now, my son is 10, upto few months ago I thought there would be no problem for his education, he is currently going to a private school, but my partner left me and he told me he can't pay for the private school anymore, hence my problems, I live in Oxfordshire and found out with my surprise (of course not yours) that there are no
Grammar schools in Oxon, my closest GS is RLS 11 miles followed by AGS 18 miles, I have a meeting with the headmaster next week to see what he suggests, of course my 1st preference would be for RLS but I have seen it is quite difficult to be accepted there, unfortunately I can't find any decent (in my budget) accomodation in the county and for job reasons I can't go further north.
I just wanted to ask your opinions on my chances for RLS entry in 2012? Is it really tight or I have hope? any suggestions?
Thanks a lot again for this fantastic forum, I have just ordered some papers so my son can start practising with the test...
thanks a lot
