OMG he did it!
Postman just arrived. Mugged him for letter. Ripped it open (with DS's permission) and . . . .
DS has been offered a sports AND academic scholarship !
I'm so very proud! I just want to hug him but he's at school!
The other great thing is that the top class rugby boots we just ordered for him arrived with the postie too so he will have a big treat once he has read the letter!
YEY YEY YEY YEY YEY YEY
Can you tell I'm H A P P Y

Thanks Snowdrops, Zorro and Heidiho!
LOL Yes, I keep re-reading the letter because if I don't then the words might change!
We do still have to pay fees but it is a largeish reduction. DS has done well as around here it is not the norm to offer year 7s big scholarships, concentrating instead on bursaries.
Think we may have to have a little celebration later - off to pop some champagne in the fridge!
We won't make an absolute choice about this school yet as DS still has one more to sit plus a sports assessment. Then, if he has another offer, the fun of comparing pros and cons will start. Good news is that we have 6 weeks before the offer expires.
