Re: End of term report
When the report arrives you get a letter explaining that the reports will only be available via the portal in future. You also get the access arrangements.

Re: Gemma Newlands
Gemma is at the same college as my daughter and doing extremely well! I think she gained an Exhibition for her Mods last year.

Favourite song
What is your favourite song? I now this isn't what you might call a 'song' but she is singing! I love it because she is so majestic and the words are so simple and so moving. It isn't my absolute favourite song.Once you start thinking about it ..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOIAi2XwuWo&fea...

Re: CHTV
I can see cautious comments are in order . Is this something that is endorsed by the school? I suppose it is- with the usual caveats of 'don't bring the school in to disrepute' and I imagine the school monitors it. I believe the presenter has political aspirations so I guess ' you saw it here first ...

Re: The Blue
It is nice when your child has a photo or a mention but as a product The Blue is exceptional;I think it has improved since the first one I received six years ago. I particularly like the emphasis on community action near and far and the space given to the children's writing .My eldest had several me...

Re: Initial Assessment
Apart from what Mrs C has recently posted I am fairly convinced that the initial assessment(November) is just based on the test results. The family circumstances aren't relevant at this stage. I am also sure that this applies to the Presentations. It would just be a rank order so that part of it is ...

Re: Inter House trophies
And who could forget the Hertford Tableau Competition. Oh my word...if Angela was there when it was a feature I would give a lot to read her description but I think it was a happily short lived later experiment. I feel faint...

Re: New Bursaries policy
Is there a new system of presentations? It is a bit of a closed book but it seems to operate that the presentations are allocated where they can be. There are a variety of these such as RAF, Church, OB , Guilds , West Gift and many others. They are allocated if there is a 'fit' with the child and th...

Re: Tax Credits claimed for childcare at CH?
I see what you mean and was having a bit of a rant. Mrs C is right that the EMA was being spent on cigarettes and alcohol in many cases which I found annoying but I accept this is a personal view. It annoyed me a bit that the school takes such a liberal view of these things on site but again perhaps...

Re: Tax Credits claimed for childcare at CH?
That's true for sure Mrs C but I can't help thinking that an 'Only Way Is Essex' theme night organised by the Grecians and a Pyjama party for 13 and 14 year olds held in the Grecians Club is just reinforcing the idea that that EMA is money for nothing and having a 'good time' in the worst possible t...

Re: New Bursaries policy
It doesn't appear to if you can understand it all but according to a member of staff on Open Day last Saturday it is easier to 'pass ' the entrance exams if you are wealthy; there is a higher pass mark if you are poor which would seem to bear out what kingedwardrd says "As a result there will b...

Re: New Bursaries policy
I get the economics of the school but it was not founded for middle income parents what ever way you spin it.
