Trafford 11+ anxious parents' thread..

[Elvis]

I wondered about the Urmston top 20 too.It was my absolute favourite when we looked round.

[wangxiaosara]

Yes, Urmston still has the top 20 rule. So please tell me why Urmston is your favorite?

For once I agree with Catseye

A result! I feel honoured

really liked Urmston too.

Do Urmston still accept the top 20 for automatic entry irrespective of catchment?

It was my favourite school in Trafford but we settled for AGGS since it's within walking distance.

I liked the kids, especially the one who showed us around.I liked the theatre,cricket pitch and pavilion and it had a "happy" feel to it.

[Catseye]

it had a "happy" feel to it.

I agree plus it is co-ed even if there is good evidence single sex girls schools do better at STEM subjects but for all round development co-ed are best for boys and girls.

Que, g55 to contradict me on the STEM issue.

I just go where the evidence leads me ,I never, say anything directed personally towards my fellow members but inevitably end up having a scrap with just about everyone

"A result! I feel honoured "

I know it was a million years ago, but I went to Urmston Grammar School. It was a great school. Loved it. I honestly don't think it has changed too much.

[Elvis]

Hallelujah it's all over.Dont know if anyone else is celebrating tonight but I certainly am relieved it's all done and dusted.

[Sephy1]

Wine is open!
Well done to all the kids and all the parents!!

Well done to you all. I feel like having a bonfire with all the papers and workbooks tomorrow

[Sephy1]
