Does  anyone have any inspirational ideas to help a child of eleven deal  with
major disappointment please? I'm thinking of two or three children  whose
friends have passed entrance exams and got to go (mostly together) to  the
school of their choice, but these children haven't made it? I find  this
really really hard.

I'm not being flippant (for a change?) but isn't this one of those things  
that happens in life and we move on eventually?

The inspirational idea was probably comprehensive education.
