Hello, this is my first posting, so apologies for not knowing the jargon, but bear with... My DD is in year 5 in and excellent local state primary. He is very bright and past the point at which I can help him with maths and literacy. His teacher says he would pass the 11+, but we don't like the idea of a highly pressurised exam factory environment on offer at the grammar schools. So, our next option is scholarships? We intend to go and visit Battle Abbey, Buckswood, Claremont and Vinehall. Acamdeically they all seem on a parr with each other, but I have heard that Vinehall is struggling and closing down classes and Claremont seem a little desperate with adverts everywhere, but that's only a first impression. Any advice would be great....
