My post has come early and we got both Hampton and KGS offers for Sept 2018 in A4 envelopes, over the moon, good luck to all.

Tolacar · 09/02/2018 09:18

Good luck!

Ragstorags · 08/02/2018 17:28

Good luck everyone

Ragstorags,

They both come out on the same day. In previous years at Hampton large envelope good news, small thin envelope, not so good news. Some schools differ on this though.

Good luck.

I know 2 that got scholarships last year one was 20% the other was less. HTH

Ragstorags · 05/02/2018 12:07

Anxiously waiting for news on 13+ entry. Interview was done last week. Does anyone know if Yes and No's are both received on the 9th? Or do the No's go out first? Confused

Sunshine5050 · 29/01/2018 22:15

Yes I think the discount can be sizeable.

Secretsquirrel11 · 29/01/2018 21:53

Hi sunshine5050 it’s for 11+

Sunshine5050 · 29/01/2018 21:23

Just to add at 11plus Hampton are competing with grammar school places esp Tiffin so discount may be more.

Sunshine5050 · 29/01/2018 21:20

Hi, pls can you clarify if this is for 13plus as 11plus were 3 weeks ago? I wonder if the %'s vary?

Secretsquirrel11 · 29/01/2018 20:48

Hi
My DS got called for scholarship interview. Do you know what % fee reduction is possible? Some old posts state that their DS had 50% off so I was wondering how this could be possible.

Ffffffffffffff202899554 · 26/01/2018 19:23

Any tips for questions? Really scared...

Tolacar · 18/01/2018 21:04

How did the interview go mihoney2018? DS has his on Tuesday. What was the parents bit like?

mihoney2018 · 12/01/2018 22:02

Hi, after an anxious week, my son got the letter today. She is so happy. Do people get asked about general affairs, or is it mostly personal life, friends, hobbies, etc? Can anyone share any info on the meeting with the Headteacher for parents? Many thanks!

Tolacar · 10/01/2018 12:36

Just received interview letter in the post. Hope you have good news too. 🤞🤞

Tolacar · 10/01/2018 10:13

Has anyone heard about interviews yet?

Mumtogremlins · 09/01/2018 21:39

Thanks, that helps a bit. I think I'd be annoyed at the parent question too

FernetBranca · 09/01/2018 20:09

Yes, my DS was asked that as well at an interview at Hampton about 5 years ago and I thought it was a pernicious and pointless question. I was really cross actually when I heard.

g1itterati · 09/01/2018 18:17

Oh and they also asked him, "What do your parents do?"

g1itterati · 09/01/2018 18:10

At DS' 11 plus interview they asked him whether Hampton was his first choice school and why (say yes and have a good reason)! They asked him what books he liked to read and his favourite subjects. I remember they also asked him what he thought made a good lesson. Apart from that, it was chitchat about hobbies.
I think five from his school were interviewed in the same format and they were all offered places. DS went elsewhere though.

Mumtogremlins · 09/01/2018 15:18

Can anyone remember what they ask the boys in the Hampton interview? They say it's about 20 mins which is quite scarily long!
