Thanks for that - I will do likewise.
Just as a general point for anyone considering boarding school for their kids, the advice I received at the start was to be prepared to negotiate fees at all stages. With my third son starting at the same school group as the other 2 on Monday we will benefit from a significant discount, that otherwise would mean he had to wait for a couple of years.
Lest anyone think I am amonster, I ought to add that my children all elected to go to boarding school, and even posted their own application forms! The older 2 seem to enjoy school just as much as coming home, which is about as much of a recommendation as I could give.
Sorry, I got carried away there - back to JPA. It's a disgrace. Don't do it RN.
