She’s worked her socks off for the last 2.5yrs for her 11+. Passing her 11+ was gonna be almost a cert, but the Grammar School was our hope. We’re so proud of her and so very happy for her. It is a lesson to the family that if we want it enough, we can, with hard work, get it!
Thanks gang! yeah Iim really, really proud of her…mind you I always was without this good news.
As for all you " must take after her mum " jockey’s…thank God for that!
I was abroad when the results came through. I spoke with her after school (her not me!:P) on Skype and whenever I praised her, she was trying to play it down, but you could see how much see was secretly enjoying the praise her achievements were bringing!
She was already telling me that her mum had said she could have a present if she got a grade to get in to the Grammar school. So far its been a puppy, a holiday with her friend.
Be ready to be helping with all that homework, its quite pressured at grammar. My son was worked to death (well, almost) he got about 3 hours of homework every night by year 9. Worth it in the end though…
