I refer you back to my last sentence about the irrelevance of postcodes.Thanks Steve
It is sooo very tricky......
Are you saying that for Simon Balle you stand as much of as a chance with an SG14 post code as you would with an SG13?
Jeez I do not know what to do!!!!!
Help please !!!!!

No, much of Hertford is in SG14.Is it right to say that to be accepted for Richard Hale or Simon Balle you have to have a SG13 post code?

No, my son attends Richard Hale (or technically left last Thursday, just going in for exams) as I felt Richard Hale was right for my son. He has thrived there and I am pleased with [our] choice to send him there but... that was for him. Children are different and I think he would have thrived at all the schools as I am motivated with him to push him to reach his full potential.Thanks Kateg28 for the positive reply.
It is just not possible unfortunately to visit any schools as we are living abroad.
Great to hear that Sele has done good for motivated teenagers with parents that are committed to their education...I know I am and cannot understand how a parent cannot be.
Have you any experience with Sele directly.....children there or perhaps know of any families with children attending?

Please do not dismiss Sele on that basis alone. The problem, in my opinion, is the demographic. Richard Hale, Simon Balle and Predales are exceptionally good schools and parents fight to get their children in them. Often the children of parents who are committed to their education fare very well whereas if the parents are not committed to the education, it falls to the child to self motivate and a lot of teenagers do not. I know of one girl who was pretty much written off in London schools, moved to Hertford, attended Sele for the last 3 years of senior school and is now at University and thrivingYou should read the latest ofsted reports on sele, and look at their results and then make your choice.
The problem for sele - is simply comparative. Simon balle, but especially presdales and richard hale are soooo good, that it makes sele look pretty mediocre.
Yes I can indeed see the difference in results......
35% pass rate at gcse for sele is very unappealing.
