As previously said, going to the best school in england did really help me pick my ideas as they give you loads of advice on what to pick!

Sorry to say it, but there is no 'best school'........ There are statistics, but as everyone knows 'statistics' are manipulated to get funding and not much else.

Your school may have a high rate of good exam results, but at hundreds of other schools across the country there are pupils thriving and churning out astounding results, while others at their school don't do as well, giving them a poor overall result 'statistically'....

That's nice for you.... I'm sure last time I checked it was spelled 'Colchester Royal Grammar School' 'though. Surely going to 'the best school' in the country you should know how to spell it?


My point was, that it makes no difference which school you go to! There are gifted children all over the world who don't get the chance to step foot inside a school like yours, but they are no less intelligent because of it. Teachers stick to a curriculum these days, they will be teaching the same things and giving the same advice to pupils all over the country, regardless of where the school is in the league tables......

This has gone wildly off topic anyway, and I wish you all the best for your future Adam!

Hiya, yes I do agree with you, and I know I was very lucky to get into the school, I was simply trying to say my school turns out good GCSEs so it must be doing something right!

I can't even spell my school's name! Lol!

Anyway, this has all gone off topic now!

I have given you my opinions and my advice, good luck with your choices
