We have applied to sit the 11+ for Harrodian School for a bright and sporty boy (rugby) who is very social. We really liked the school when we went to visit. But I hear from quite a few people that it is impossible to get in even if you have a bright child. I’m wondering if it’s even worth taking the exam. My son has a pretty brutal schedule and I would hate for him to sit the test for no reason if those places have already been allocated to siblings or if the rumour is true that they only take children from famous parents. Can anybody share any insight into the process? What are they looking for exactly? Son is bright and will likely do well on the test but I imagine lots of kids will do well.
