FOREST HILL BOYS : OFFERS DAY

Post by robinredbread »

Hi now that we have the results of the secondary places - a trauma I'm happy to say I'll not have to do again - does anyone have any thoughts on Forest Hill Boys? My son got in there which I think is a really good thing - it would be great if anyone could give some feedback (hopefully positive!!) Thank you

Sorry I've been spending too much time on Mumsnet :-(, KD is abbrev for Kingsdale Foundation school in Dulwich which was one of our 6 choices for secondary school.

My son went there (Kingsdale) staff were exceptional esp the mentors office and deputy head. Sadly his autism stopped him completing any exams bar maths and even that was a terrible struggle.
