Re: Any feedback about John Lyon, St.James or Kew House Scho
When you say 'spacial' again, do you mean special? And you're claiming Hampton has a big department for this? Where is it?
Re: Any feedback about John Lyon, St.James or Kew House Scho
to go back to initial question I think at Kew, since it will be in its 3rd year i.e. just starting and having lots to prove, I would think each DC would be given extra attention to make sure they achieve the best they can. I also think that at the moment, the children who accept a place at Kew would be those who didn't make it to the top tier academic schools, so if they pull out good results it would be a true reflection of the value added of the school. I know 2 families who didn't get Latymer Upper and ended up there and they are really happy with the school so far. Shame the uniform is so revolting

But in this case I would assume that JL having students who did not make it at MTS and Haberdasher's or even city of London!
You made me laugh when I read " Shame the uniform is so revolting " , yes ! weird mixing of colours! Even my son did not like it ! "Too much bright" he said!

Sand -coloured chinos, ugh. All very American preppy, isn't it? The school uniform suppliers must be rubbing their hands with glee - with such an impractical colour, they must reckon on selling several skirts / pairs of trousers per child.Hope4chance wrote:Thanks again Bazelle, good conclusion as well !Bazelle wrote:to go back to initial question I think at Kew, since it will be in its 3rd year i.e. just starting and having lots to prove, I would think each DC would be given extra attention to make sure they achieve the best they can.

Yes! I was about to say the American style ! Also, the type of green in their uniform does not match this type of blue!

Not sure it's necessary to keep pointing out mistakes in others' posts J50. I think everyone knew what was meant.

I am not sure so far Bazelle! A new offer came from St. Benedict's ! We have to rethink again! But between JL and St. Benedict's this time
