Whoop Whoop Wetherby!

Last Thursday Sean sat assessment exams for one of London's best schools, Wetherby. 

So we were  absolutely thrilled to receive a letter yesterday confirming that he had passed the gruelling three hour tests as well as the assessment and has now secured his place in year 6. I was jumping for joy all day and am still grinning!

There is such a lot of pressure on parents and kids in London to secure a place in your preferred senior school. It's almost become like a competitive sport as there are thousands of kids competing for very limited spaces.

We put in a lot of work preparing for the tests in English and Maths and practised mock exams and potential interview questions and so we're delighted that the hard work paid off.

We can all relax now knowing that Sean's education through to age 18 is secure (and conveniently here in Marylebone too!) and we can avoid the pressure of the 11+ process next year. Well done Seany we are bursting with pride!

This morning I'm sending off an application form along with Scarlett Grace's birth certificate, passport copy and a cheque for the registration fee

Private education can be highly competitive, especially in central London, and however insane it may seem to register Scarlett Grace already at the age of five months - it still doesn't guarantee her a place at Queens, as we are up against enormously long waiting lists!

 It would be a dream come true for my daughter to be accepted to Queens College Preparatory School
