The school sounds a tough one to get into. I found talking directly to the school (ie special needs) really worthwhile in getting an idea of how supportive they are to SEN & statemented children. Might it be a way of establishing a connection? I do voluntary work so even if you are not successful with this post, there are loads of organisations that would benefit from your skills and I'm sure the school would be equally pleased with that.Welcome!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07758516334730930643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1696860710068596177.post-82592323763991435372011-05-10T10:47:21.582+01:002011-05-10T10:47:21.582+01:00Found my way to your new blog! :D
I think you sho...Found my way to your new blog! :D<br /><br />I think you should definitely go for the treasurer position. I ended up with a C grade in GCSE maths too (I hated it, along with the teacher who later got struck off for incompetency!)but when I did several accounts modules as part of my degree I excelled as it's totally different. If you can do your own earnings, tax etc then you are MORE than able to keep a PTA treasury. So go for it! <br /><br />In regards to the school, you can but try. These days it is a bit of a lottery unfortunately, but having taught at a C of E church school (also quite high up in the national rankings, but for the Times list) I know that they at least preferred families of genuine faith than Johnny Come latelies who are C of E'ers for convenience. Hence we had Catholics, Muslims, Sikhs, all happily co-existing and learning. Hopefully your school has a similar inclusive ethos.<br /><br />Good luck with it all anyway, be proactive. I would also suggest arranging a visit to the school before you apply. Try and make the acquaintance of some of the senior leadership teachers and show your genuine enthusiasm for sending your son there. <br /><br />Good luck with it all and keep us posted! xXxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
