Wondering if any parents are entering their girls into the WGS senior entrance exam in January? I know the setup is slightly different this year in that there is an extra class of year 6 juniors at WGS meaning that there are possibly fewer places for external candidates.

I wonder whether that will make a difference to girls applying externally?

Also, I'm interested to hear about interviews. If you get an interview, does it mean you are through providing you don't crumble, or are they just selecting the very best from a large group of interviewees?

Not all girls in the juniors will stay on...some will go to other schools for their own reasons.

sorry also meant to say re interviews that from the impression I got at open day was that there may be more interviews and what you can bring to the school as opposed to just academics maybe more important since the new Head took over, but maybe not that was just my impression.

Hello

did you find out any more information re the impact of having another year 6 class to compete with. My daughter is sitting the entrance exam in January, amongst others. I am really starting to feel anxious.
