Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the entrance exam to Shirley high is like? And how competitive it is? Is it a series of exam papers... Verbal reasoning etc? My daughter is pretty bright, but hard to say really where she is on a national level.
I'm not massively keen on force feeding exams, I remember it from my youth, but am in that position that many people find themselves in where they want to do their best for their child.
I don't think I'm in the catchment for Shirley high and if get her in my son will follow automatically. Would she be happy in any other school? Probably, she's not inja great primary but she loves it, but I'm just looking for the big picture if anyone can supply it? Thank you!
