My daughter has reached the qualifying standard for Denmark Road, Stroud High, Ribston and Crypt. I’m incredibly proud of her
I’ve always thought a grammar would be the right place for her - she’s bright but needs a push to stay on track , otherwise she tends to coast a bit.
Our dilemma is that both my daughter and I don’t think an all girls’ school would be the right place for her and I’m worried Crypt is too far for her to travel from the other side of Cheltenham every day.
Would I be silly to turn down a grammar place? We both really like our local comp but I do think a grammar is the right environment to challenge her, knowing the way she works, and it’s a gamble that that won’t happen at a comp.
Has anyone else been in this position and made a decision either way?
Such a tough decision and don’t want to look back with regret!
