Colchester County High for Girls
Posted: Fri Mar 23, 2007 10:37 pm
My daughter will be starting at Colchester in Sept. She is delighted, and so are we, but I've had mixed reactions from other people about the news! Some seem very negative about the bus journey she will have to take, the resulting length of her school day and the fact that her friends probably won't live nearby. Others have mentioned that the girls are pushed too hard, and some end up with eating disorders as a result. Can anyone with a child already there tell me a bit more about the school?! I'm wondering if all the negative comments just come from people who don't agree with the grammar school system.
