The Postie Has Been !!!

Ambridge · Post by **Ambridge** » Tue Mar 03, 2009 12:06 pm

Well, having been down the secondary school allocation tortuous route, comparing the two, I can highly recommend the easy journey.

DD will be joining her brother at RLS in September - yippeee (mind you having passed the 11+ and opting only for our catchment GS with a sibling already there, it was sort of 'in the bag'

).

So for all those preparing their little soldiers for this years' 11+, try and persuade them to take the easy journey although if you are not lucky straight away, don't give up, you can get there in the end

Best wishes to everyone and fingers and toes will be crossed in the coming months for those who didn't get their first choice and will be going on the appeal journey.

Postie finally arrived.

Got our first choice thanks to sibling.

Lubib, andyb - see you in Sept (or July for their induction day). Shall we wear badges with our forum names?!

Wonderful news Ambridge!!! Congratulations!!!

I would personally recommend the straightforward route too - just pass the exam and live close enough to the school to get straight in!

It beats the alternative every time.

So pleased for you - especially Sally-Anne and Ambridge - ypu've been there , done that, and got the 12+ tee-shirt - only hope DD can get one too on the 20th. Thanks for being there for me - just having doubts now - was she really that happy after she came out of the 12+ exam? Feel like a "Marvin" coming on.....
