It may all change if Labour wins or even a hung/coalition parliament( the likeliest outcome imo)

I am definitely going with my boy, I'm very curious about it as an extra choice and would like to know if the school will be changing their gcse options and about the curriculum in general, but I think it will be difficult to find out what it will be like after the change, it could be complely different to how it is now, and I don't see how they can predict what it will be like. Maybe we'll find out on Saturday ...

Yes, agree with you.

Want to keep it as an option anyway.

Hopefully will get all needed info or at least what type of exams they will use and when as before exams were in February not September as all grammar schools.

See you there :)

will definately be going along to the open day this saturday, at least its another non grammar option alongside Ashton and Wellington.

was speaking to DD1 last night, she said the kids were a bit rough around the edges, and looking on the website the GCSE results aren't great. Still worth a look for DD2 next year.

Yep i will keep NC as an option too. After AGGS changed to CEM im more worried than before.
Hope they will give more info re exams as there is nothing on the website.

Just came back from it.
They basically said "back luck" when I mentioned were outside WA14 and very much assume they will fill their quota from those not getting the AGSB/AGGS from my impression
