The decision required a lot of thought and was a hard one. It was an impressive achievement as it required plenty of work. \u2018I had to revise a lot before and I was very interested in the school,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<p>Sport has provided many of his favourite moments: \u2018I love football, cricket and rugby \u2013 but I probably enjoy rugby most of all,\u2019 he says.<\/p>\n<p>The specialist teachers all \u2018know exactly how you are doing,\u2019 he says. \u2018You get really good guidance and they can fix your base technique, which can be hard to fix later.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>George was genuinely torn between Whitgift and Dulwich: \u2018I play rugby for a club and a few people from my club are going to Whitgift and it is a very good school. It was a great option to pick from.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Eaton House The Manor is full of memories for George. \u2018I came here in the Nursery and I have been here nearly 10 years!\u2019 he laughs.<\/p>\n<p>He has no complaints: \u2018My time here has been really good,\u2019 he says \u2018There are not too many people per class and teachers get to know you. And the students are nice to hang out with, really nice people. It is really good education and provides a baseline to work from and get into future schools.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As for a career, he is undecided as yet, although he did have a Careers Day. Wisely, he says, \u2018Even if you do start off with a plan, life can take many turns. You don\u2019t actually see the top of the staircase. What you find there could be the complete opposite of what you think as you go up the stairs.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018I Love Sports \u2013 Specialist Teachers at the Manor Really Fix Your Technique\u2019 George S. is heading to Dulwich College, although he is grateful to have won an All-Rounder Scholarship&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all-schools"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6167,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6164\/revisions\/6167"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatonhouseschools.com\/clapham\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
