that is certainly a good sized group to start a school and it will be quickly forgotten that they are "the new boys"

Hi Suey, I think there quite a lot of movement in the indie sector in yr9. Even if some have started into Yr7 a lot leave their prep schools at the end of Yr8 and start secondary school in Yr9. In fact my DS was in the minority leaving his prep at the end of Yr6.

Many thanks Suey12 for the good wishes... I come back to this forum from time to time to reassure myself... so nice to read your note. My DS is sitting three independents (on 13th, 15th and 17th!) and a couple of state sector banding tests (you never know!).

I can not wait for all of it to be over!!

This time last year it was our turn, so I do know how you are all feeling :shock:

As we learned, things may not always turn out how you expect, but for most people I think there is a happy ending.

(I'm getting stressed, just remembering all the emotions we went through !!!).

Hang on in there :D
