More comments today of 'Why isn't your daughter choosing Denmark?' 'They got the best results this year you know'............... Etc

Because my childs happiness comes before results!

I'm sure many of you have DD's who are happy at DRHS - but I don't think my daughter particularly liked it anymore than our local comp.
Grades are fantastic bragging rights for some parents - but as long as my daughter achieves what she needs to become whatever she decides to become then its OK with me.
We had this last year when we choose Ribston over Denmark Rd. DRHS is a great school and the girls were so lovely when we looked round but Ribston had the X factor for my particular daughter. And she’s loved her first half term so so far so good.

It's hard when people feel the need to question you're decision. I'm finding the conversations hardest with people whose children didn't get in.

We're all choosing the school we believe is right for the reasons that are right for us :D
