It will take 1 hour 20 mins . In a bad day, 1 hour 30 mins. We will stay local.CoolParent123 wrote:YoungSuccess wrote: YS, how much is the commute time for your DS to QE? What is your personal preferred choice? Is it QE too or you changed your mind?

Re: Tiffin Boys - after the result.. need input from TS pare
I usually go with the children's choice, if feasible. Ultimately, they have to spent 5 or 7 years in the school. If he is deeply in love with QE, I won't make him choose what he thinks to be the second best choice. But, obviously, YS knows better if family can relocate or not - such a long travel obviously is not advisable.

Not at all Youngsuccess. It was a genuine suggestion. Some parents may not entrust their 10yr or 11yr child with such a decision. Good for you that you have.

Fortunately, he got high score in Tiffin, passed Wilsons, passed Wallington and high score in QE. Now he insist on doing SGS as well.CoolParent123 wrote:Local to Sutton / Surrey? did you not consider Sutton based schools?

Thanks CP123! He is in love with QE, but wait until we do a few more early runs this half term break! Two very early waking ups should do the job!CoolParent123 wrote:Then dont worry about the school. He will succeed in whichever the school you put him in

Youngsuccess are you asking so that you can decide how to rank on the CAF? I suppose that's more tricky if you have potentially 5 to choose from.

No problem with CAF filing! I am asking so that my son could read all the posts from current parents and he had a good read last night.Biggiesmall wrote:Youngsuccess are you asking so that you can decide how to rank on the CAF? I suppose that's more tricky if you have potentially 5 to choose from.
