Hi there, We are moving on short notice from Singapore to the UK and DS will turn 11 in May this year. We are looking at independent schools.
I am completely foxed - looks like he's missed the 11+ test. I thought I could apply individually to the schools and get a separate testing done but am aghast to read on one of the school websites that
"As from September 2010, ?In Year? applications have to be made directly with Local Authorities. Parents can no longer make direct applications to schools. If a vacancy occurs, parents who have applied through their Local Authority about ?In Year? admissions will be contacted to arrange a test for their child. Vacancies of this kind in Years 7 to 11 are rare"
Is this true and if it is ...what options are we left with :-(
Any advice will be much appreciated
