11 plus done.....now it's the waiting game to see if dd's passed. Anyone else feeling a bit stressed?

How do you get onto/where do you find 11+ forums?

Your welcome bella, I know how stressfull it was for me a year ago !! And congratulations !!

Thanks all! I am giddy with relief. Hope the next few days brings everyone good news, I'll be checking in with you all.

That is so brilliant bella. Such a relief that both the boys passed - well done. We've still got another 2 days wait here. Just don't know which way it will go. Dd is certain she's passed but I have sort of convinced myself she hasn't. Aaaaaghhhh!!!!!!!!!

Excellent news so pleased for your DTs!!!

Great news Bella!

BoboEk - thanks, I've just seen taht and done it and it seems to work! Just slightly worried that it might be hackers at work?! Is that even possible?

Anyway, worked for me - I think - and both my DTs passed, yay! One by the skin of his teeth in English and Maths...

Quote "Hello everyone, found this on Twitter, you may find it useful!

Click on the "View Kent Tests" button then remove the "?context=ee" from the url and it displays the results! Will save you a few hours of waiting!"

Anyone waiting for the Kent results ? have a look on the 11+ Forums (Kent section) as there is a way of accessing the results ;-)

Oooh admiral..

Birmingham here - we got the letter this morning!! Now debating whether or not to open it before school pick up...this is tense!
Good luck to everyone else!

Yes good luck and well done to all whatever the result!!

Fingers crossed for those getting results today......!!!

Oh blimey- good luck everyone.

Good luck to all your children today!

Skinners is the only SS out of your list that has no catchment criteria for admission it's purely allocated on score.

Both Judd & TGS have a separate in area and out of area allocation, with cut off scores varying accordingly ( greater number of places for in area = lower cut off score ).

Weald is catchment only with pass score not taken into account.

Surely TOGS and Skinners are super selective - ie they admit purely on score and nothing else.
Some like Judd have a certain number of places based purely on marks.
Others like Weald require a pass mark and to live within catchment.
Isn't all this stuff on each schools website?

There’s only one super-selective, as far as I am aware, in my part of Kent so i.e. only one where the admissions criteria of distance might become less relevant. Indeed, last year there were two North/East Kent Grammars undersubscribed at offers day so, in theory, any child from East Sussex, London or where ever, that had sat the Kent Test and passed would have got a place if it was on their CAF. Though I can’t imagine anyone would want to travel that far of course!

I'm sorry to be a pedant, shouldwe, but they don't prioritize Kent children. They give places to children who have passed the test who live in their catchment area.

Yes I don't know any which don't have a priority towards Kent children BertandRussell but being Mumsnet I thought if I said that they all prioritise Kent children someone would come on to tell me about a grammar school I have never heard of which dips into East Sussex in fact I think TWBG might with the three mile rule .

.

"Many non-superselectives give priority to those in Kent areas so I imagine that they will be harder to get into if you are out of area."
As far as I am aware, all Kent non superselectices go on catchment. So no chance at all for out of area candidates.

I dont think they are super selective. I've not looked much as chances are slim anyway.

But it's bad enough that I live near a few schools ( primary and secondary )ranging from virtually next door to 1.5 miles away so all walking distance and between small catchments and criteria I don't meet (church/faith etc) and a high birth year a part from two really bad catchment schools I can't get into any if them even though every day people walk past my house to get to them or the bus stops from further away.

Even the first choice school despite being further away (loads from here go though)its still a quicker bus journey than my catchment and likely allocated school.

I could not bare it if on top of that we were booted out for higher scores from people up to several miles away.

It’s not just a grammar site but it does have reliable info re results, appeals etc

For anyone in Kent, you might find useful info on this site www.kentadvice.co.uk , it will probably be updated very quickly after the results are out in Kent. A bit more helpful than the Kentonline article.

It sounds as if you will be fine Giles I think that you would know if you were looking at a superselctive. The only thing it might affect is appeals as if she didn't pass and you appealed plus someone who passed but was out of catchment appealed then the panel would need to weigh up if the child who passed but lives further away has a better case than your dd who is near but didn't pass.
