Hi
This is my first post, my son (year 6, age 11 currently) has been offered a place at RGS in Guildford, we are really pleased as this was our first choice school.
We were encouraged by his current school to go for a place to start at age 13, rather than starting this year.
The offer letter from RGS says that it is 'conditional on there being no significant deterioration in his performance when he takes the common entrance exam in 2018.'
I am keen to know a bit more about how this stage of the process works, is it just a routine assessment, or is it a case of fail and you can't have the place? I suppose I am trying to work out the chances of him falling at the last hurdle.
Can anyone shed any light? If we go with RGS it will mean turning down other offers for schools he could start this year, but I don't want to run the risk of it falling through if he somehow messes up the common entrance exams in 2018.
If anyone has any experience of the process I would be keen to hear more!
Thanks
