I wonder if anyone with children who are already at secondary school would be willing to share their experience of how Gloucestershire tend to be placed. Obviously there are many academic children at the grammars, but is there also a significant cohort of similarly academic children who go to the comprehensives, either through preference or because the exam doesn't work out for them?
The context is that I have a very academic boy in Y4, who I think would have a decent chance at passing the 11+. However he doesn't like the idea of taking a bus every day and would rather walk to the local school. This is fine with me, but I do have a niggling worry about him fitting in if similarly academic children tend to opt for the grammars. Any advice would be gratefully received!
