I'm so proud..
When we came here last year in April and we had a lot of trouble to get our daughter into a good secondary school for year 7....all the descend schools were full.
The best school around here did put her on the waiting list..place 39..but because of our sercumstances (12 years of army) they gave here a place
after all..plus she had really good papers.
Now we half way through the year seven..she gets good marks all through the subjects...learns, German, Spanish and Japanese.
There are 300 Students in year 7..today she came home..telling me that she is grade wise at place 10 and effort wise the number 1...she got a commendation from the head teacher and is sooo happy about it...and Mum is proud...
Had to tell somebody..hubby is away for the week....

That's great news - I can understand why you feel so proud. She's obviously adjusting very well, then.

Why this place is so expensive I don't know...because if you go further towards central London..it gets cheaper...for a bit..
