I attended a parent forum meeting at my DCs school recently and a question was raised with regards to Oxbridge entrance and student preparation.
The staff response was that some likely candidates can be identified from year 7 and they keep a close watch throughout their school education. I was intrigued by this and have a couple of questions for your consideration:-
- Do you think this is possible and/or sensible?
- If you do, what do you think they identify in year 7?
I asked these qs at the forum and was only offered vague answers. Just curious really, but could imagine an onslaught of Y7 parents all desperate to ensure their children fit the 'Oxbridge box'.
