Re: 2013 Admissions Thread
My DS fell at the last hurdle a couple of years ago - even though he had a Donation Governor. Thankfully DS secured a major scholarship at another school, but only funded as a day boy which caused even more hardship as I moved away from friends and family with virtually no job prospects. I went thro...

Re: Parental Contribution
Last year's 2nd form was unusually small though, wasn't it? That was what always puzzled me so much about poor Bosty94 and her daughter, who didn't get a place from the waiting list. Surely the point about the waiting list is that you are saying 'if only we had room we would take your child. If you...

Re: Parental Contribution
I really feel for the parents on this thread. I had an unsatisfactory experience with my son’s application to CH a couple of years back, not due to fees charged. Over the past 25 years society has been positively encouraged to purchase their housing - be that council or otherwise. Many people have...

Re: Waiting list children contacted for Year 8 entry
I haven't contacted the school. I don't know what to think or say really. When he was refused last year, his Headmaster couldn't believe that he had not come up to scratch academically and took up the baton for him.... but despite pushing did not receive a response from CH (which he was stunned by)....

Re: Waiting list children contacted for Year 8 entry
My son secured a Presentation at least years year 7 intake, but fell at the last hurdle to get a place (he went to pieces overnight and failed his English paper). I was contacted in Feb and duly completed the forms for a place in year 8 from the waiting list.... Only to receive a letter last week te...
