Thanks to everyone who has posted. I rang this morning and my son has been offered MDS! We will definitely be taking it as we only applied for the Hammond. I wanted him nearby, we live in lancaster. The assistant principal didn't seem to know why we hadn't got the email! I keep pinching myself as I can't quite believe it! I hope everyone gets what they want. It is such an emotional couple of months. Now the reality that he will be boarding will set in, he's my only child so it'll be very strange having an empty house! Please let me know how you get on if you don't know your position yet. We can be a support to each other xx
