SES Forums

Yes, NYC, you're quite right. I do give importance to making the connection clear between the SES and St James - for the benefit of parents especially. I'm glad to see that the website now does this. Further links could be made but the connection is now clear on the website.

The St James senior girls is in the top 20 (by league tables) of all independent schools in the UK. The boys are more average. Clearly there's work to be done there. But as to being 'behind', the results show otherwise.

I assure you, NYC, that I spend no time at all monitoring the St James website. I went to it when a parent posted that there was no mention of the SES connection on the St James site. I looked at the St James front page, and saw a link on the top bar called About Us. One more click and I got through...

I hope your daughter enjoys her new school. In fairness, however, SES is mentioned on the website. Just click on About Us.

I've been asked by one or two people to resend the post I deleted so, with a couple of minor amendments, I am happy to do so. Dear Patrick, I was pleased to see you post on the board ? well judged and friendly. It was the friendly tone that struck me most. Jaw, jaw is better than war, war any time. ...

Please see my post on the Experiences at St Vedast thread.

I've received several warm and sincere responses to the 'Dear Patrick' letter which I posted on this site last week. It was, however, originally intended as a PM but I clumsily pressed the wrong button! This is why I removed it. If, however, you are a former or current pupil of St James and would li...

I know, I know! Too tempting!

mm - in a previous post you said you were tired, in this post you say you feel sick - why don't you go and lie down?
