Unofficial Christ's Hospital Forum

I won't have to leave home until around 2.30 pm to collect my daughter, her train gets in at 4.15 pm.
Not having seen her at the leave weekend, I am really looking forward to seeing her again.

For the same reasons as the rest of us!

Yes, but still, they are perusing an unofficial site.

It's very sad that the school's own forum hasn't really taken off, and as already said, going back to square one with it isn't going to help. But I suspect the reason it's not used is precisely because it is part of the schools own website. I imagine people are happier to post here, with less fear o...

Four weeks, how awful!

My daughter, just about to go into the 3rd form, will not be taking a laptop. I simply cannot pluck one out of the air for her, and I'm still not sure I'd want to, even if I could.

I agree with all of the above, but also, what a huge change from all the advice we were given last year!! :shock: No taking expensive gadgets, laptops absolutely not needed etc. I'm quite disgusted actually, yet another thing to seperate the haves from the have nots. £200 for clay pidgeon shooting?!...

Thank-you.

Can I pick the brains of someone who has done this before please? :D The flyer states "All Gates open from 2.00pm The Ceremony begins at 3.00pm Term ends at 4.00pm" Does arriving at 2pm mean you get to load some, if not all your children's things into the car before "The Ceremony"...
