Hi,
I tried this question before but didn't really get the answer I was after. I'd like my daughter to get into Shirley High in Croydon, but we don't live in the catchment - we currently live very close to the kids' primary in East Croydon and I'd like to move over to Shirley after they start secondary - so this is the school we will be in the catchment for (after they start!).
Does anyone know what the entrance exam is like - is it verbal reasoning, how many papers? Can I get past exam papers for it? Do they do a standard 11+ type exam, or a more open 'write about X' type exam. I'm happy to go and buy some to give her some practise, as she'll at least need to know what she'll face on the day. But what do I get? Does the school give out info on the exam?
Any answers gratefully received!
