elmhurst funding

[tutucute22]

Can anyone explain how funding work for lower school -are all students on mds like rbs ?

[afab]

From what I know, it's not like RBS. There are more mds than at Tring for example but not as many as there are students.

I was told on finals day for the boys that there was funding for most of the places and only 18 beds with 1 extra in the medical centre at a push - for year 7s

When we had the parents' chit-chat in January,somebody asked that very question and  they said that pretty much all the students who were currently there (and who qualified) had funding. They were hoping that they would be able to continue with that.

do you mean 18 beds altogether or 18 for boys and a similar number for girls? Would it be 50/50 split or would there be more girls, do you think?

12 girls and 6 or 7 boys ! Last year though it was 13 girls to start with increasing to 14 and 8 boys increasing to 9 ! One boy day student !

As cotes du Rhone says not nessesarily 50/50 but rooms are for 2 and there ar only 9 so a few students had to be squashed in other places here a d there ( not far from the rest of the normal rooms ) !
