I thought they were doing English and it's AGSB that's doing NVR?
I think they have always done the same exam in the past?

I thought AGSB had left it late but at least they had informed parents that it was a possibility a while back and had advised parents to ensure their boys had familiarity with both possible subjects.
The news from Aggs seems to have come out of the blue.

It's all so confusing this year- Grrr!
We were told at school that after the AGSB ruling that AGGS would probably have to go the same way. Stressful for all.

And they were handing out admissions guidance at the open evening stating it would be English. What if parents don't check the website and assume the guidance to be right? And what now for next year, would they need to reconsult all over again... ?

Oh FFS - I've now got 6 weeks to get my daughter's head round NVR! How a school can be simultaneously so smug and so useless is beyond me :evil:
