Hi to all parents out there. I am sorry of this is not the right forum to post this question. We are in a very confused state.
My DS has qualified for Greenshaw school via SET. He missed out on Wilson/Sutton/Wallington .
We live very close to Cheam High , infact we are almost 99% sure we will get this school ,if we choose. We are very very confused as to what to choose as the higher option in the CAF form.
Cheam High has got Outstanding OFSTED rating,good facilities and is very near us. We understand from reviews that the school will push kids who are academically minded to get highest grades possible.
Greenshaw has got good rating ,good facilities and 60 selective grammar seats. Results look pretty comparitive with Cheam high.We also understand from Greenshaw school open day that usually there is about 800 applicants for the 60 seats on offer. So it is only likely if my DS is 1-2 marks off the Sutton stage 2 qualifications.
Now the ultimate confusion is if he gets Greenshaw are we saying no to an outstanding school that is very close to us and guaranteed.
Can other parents who have been through this process last year/ in same state this year please share thier views
thanks a lot
