My son Ollie is 12 and about to commence secondary school in Aberdeen.  Ollie has been offered a place at Robert Gordons College.  

Ollie attended Peterculter primary and should of been progressing onto Cults Academy with his peers.  Unfortunately due to a change of circumstances and a house move this put us out of zone for this school.

The zoned Academy Ollie would be allocated has a bad reputation where drugs, bullying and police presence are well known.  Ollie is a bright boy and has always been in top sets throughout primary school.  I would like him to accept his place at Robert Gordons in Aberdeen to allow him the opportunity to succeed in a safe environment.  I am a single parent and have been a student studying law for the last 4 years to try and create a better life and be able to provide for my son. As it is I would struggle to pay for the school fees alone.  I have spent many months applying for bursary's through companies but have been unsuccessful. I am seeking assistance to enable us to continue with this path. The annual fees are £16,645. All donations would be greatly received.

Got an idea like this?
