    Great post.
    My daughter has nothing other than glowing school reports.
    I do think however (and this is my own personal opinion), that my daughter would have achieved more if we moved from SE7 earlier.
    My son passed his 11+ following our move to Blackfen.
    Saying that, my daughter has a darn sight more creative mind than my son.
    I guess moving to an area that has a spoken first language as English in 99% of the pupils helps.
    Who actually knows?

    My daughter done hers last year. Passed. Got the highest mark in her school by a country Mile. Proud? You bet. Controversial? I don't care. I have three other sons. One is like her and very academically, the other two aren't. They'll get the same love and encouragement that my daughter gets. You just have to push them with what they're good at. One is an amazing artist. Absolutely amazing. The other is about the most chilled out and likeable lad you could wish to meet. They'll all do well in life. Of that I'm sure. I just wanted my daughter to be in an environment where it's not frowned upon if you want to get your head down and learn. As that's all she wants to do. She's a sponge and just wants to learn everything. She's been like that from day one. Why would I deny her the opportunity? I'm a Labour voter, always have been. But I don't get their opposition to grammmer schools.

    P.s. My daughter didn't have one second of tuition. I figured that if she didn't understand this stuff now and needed tutoring to get through it then she'd struggle throughout her schooling. She loves her grammar school. She was bored senseless at her primary and was so ready to move on. She loves being challenged and just thrives on it. Not all kids do. I already have my youngest sons school lined up. It's based on art. And he will thrive there. Horses for courses.

    Haha. All my kids are Millwall. All visited the Den before they were 6 months. Some have 'got it'. Some don't. If something doesn't have four legs and eat shit loads of hay (thAt I have to pay for!)then it doesn't get much attention from my daughter. . My eldest is Millwall through and through and goes down there with his mates. I got him a Millwall tattoo for his 18th. (Just keeping in line with the stereotype there). When they get asked they all say they're Millwall though. In Crete last year a waiter asked my son "who's your team mate? Chelsea?" "No mate" my son replied "I'm Millwall"


    I don't know why that warmed my heart, but it did.

    That your son had managed to remember why he had a Millwall tattoo?

    Lol. No, that was my youngest in Crete. Don't see much of my eldest these days. He's 22 and it's all Ibiza, Amsterdam, etc

    I passed my 11+, got 1 B, 7 Cs & a D at GCSE, 3 low grade passes at A Level & at 37 years old I'm doing a job I despise - live with my in-laws because I can't afford my own place & don't own a thing!

    11+ pass or failure doesn't mean anything
