Thanks Zorro, that's one thing I am not looking forward to, and know that not everyone can afford this route. Incidentally, didn't ever think we would go down the independent route, but felt it was the only viable solution in our situation. We were lucky in that the school was undersubscribed and that our DD passed the testing process, given that she had totally forgotten all verbal reasoning techniques and literally had a week to brush up on them. Still feeling very relieved.

Neither did we but as DS didn't get into selective state school it was our only option.
Ah well I'm told bread and water is quite tasty when you get used to it!

Well done Bouga many congratulations, a huge weight off your mind - I remember our conversation earlier in the year regarding the schools in our area.

So glad it's turned out well for you.

Have to admit to looking into a similar solution for our DD if all else fails here.

Can you tell us which school you got in the end?
