Re: Housing benefit for BTEC and Foundation 16-18

Success! :D DD has finally been given HB she applied on 14 Sep and has had to provide follow up info three times - she had no replies to any of her emails and ended up going into the council offices three times to try and sort it out. So all the previous advice about perseverance was spot-on. Thank...

Re: Where are our Sept 2018 starters going?

Just coming down to earth after results and excitement of booking accommodation and thought I would do a little list for this year based on the info in this thread and others who have reported places earlier in the 2018 thread. It may help others for next year to look at the full range available. A...

Re: Drama school

I hope that I can offer some support for all you parents and students out there who haven’t had the news you wanted this year and maybe this is your 2nd or 3rd year of trying.

Unbelievably upsetting. I hope they review the process for the future. To actually send out letters with the candidat...

Good evening everyone - I haven’t posted for a few weeks but have been following everyone’s journey and rooting for all your DCs.
