11+ waiting for results

Best of luck to you too @hoistmeupjudy. They know we are them proud of them whatever the outcome. With our support they will all do well. x

@crisscrosscranky @Highbeam waiting in Essex CSSE too. I've kind of written it off as dd said the maths was really hard. I think it came as a bit of a shock to her. Luckily our local comps are good too. Good luck!

@crisscrosscranky We are also waiting in Leigh-on-sea. D.S. feels that he has done well , the waiting is awful . Best of luck to your dd and everyone else who waiting to hear.

Waiting for the results was easy compared to DD making the decision as to whether she wanted to go to a grammar or the more local comprehensive. Really hard. (In the end she went for the comp).

Waiting here too. Taken on 15th and 22nd September. Results posted out 12th October... DD not sure she even wants to go to the grammar school :(

Thanks Mumski, my question is for Tiffin and Henrietta sitters. Best of luck to your child for next week result, not long now.

I think the process is different depending on which area your school is in. If you are happy to say which area then people can give more specific advice. Alternatively look on this site for more region specific advice.
In our area we get told if DS has a place at the school or on the waiting list on 10th October. Others are different, eg in some you get told if you have passed but then applicants who have passed have to apply and then get ranked by distance to see who gets the places.

Waiting impatiently in Essex for CSSE results on 16th. We're in catchment but even so my DD is a bit hit and miss with her maths so it's a nail biting wait.

Our non-grammar options are good so it's not a big deal if she doesn't pass but she will be disappointed x

Good luck to everyone waiting! We are in the middle of 11+ but there is still a long way to go, awgg!

I dont understand if there is no offer then how do we know if we have made it. Waiting until March is really a long wait especially for someone who considers moving. How do you translate the result especially when the school doesnt share details, ranking. Has anyone who was told that their child was selective and put the school as first choice but there isnt a definite place and wasnt offered in March. Should it be offer/waiting list/not similar to Indie.

Oh bless him. I wonder if my daughter will be similar... She does hold things in and I thought she'd forgotten but she asked me yesterday when the results come so she's obviously thinking about it 😬 Congrats to you

Thank you all :) It has been quite a rollercoaster for us really. miniStoufer (I like that, brisklady!) burst into tears when he found out... apparently he had been really worried, so had bottled it in... and we assumed he had forgotten :(
Good luck to everyone waiting - and thanks for your messages on here, it has really helped over the last couple of days x

Congrats stoufer!

Never mind, mamaof2cuties; she tried and you are no doubt super proud of her regardless!

Whatsgoingoneh - ours also says “mid Oct”... wonder if we are waiting for the same one?!

Congratulations Stoufer (and miniStoufer)!

Congratulations Stoufer - must be a great feeling - thanks for letting us know!

Well done to your DC2 and the whole family @Stoufer, great news!

Thank you and @Whatsgoingoneh. Hope there will be more good news x

Can I join this thread. Am awaiting results of Kent test next Thursday aghhhhh!!

@Stoufer 😃 AMAZING news!! That's brilliant - especially as your DC1 was already in. Yay! Thrilled for you all. Well done to you, and your clever kids. 😀

After an absolutely agonising wait this morning, we found out that DC2 has been deemed selective, so we are very pleased (he will be able to go to DC1's school).

I wish all of you waiting for results in the coming weeks the best of luck x

Mamaof2cuties Sorry to hear your news - but really glad to hear you have some good options locally. Good luck with the school applications!

@Mamaof2cuties Sorry to hear you didn't get the result you were expecting. But I'm really glad your local schools are good, so it's not as important.

You gave it a go! That's the most important thing.

Good luck Stoufer and everyone else.

We got ours earlier in the week, unfortunately didn't make the top 300 for SS Henrietta Barnett (that was expected) neither did she make the top 650 for SS Latymer (that was unexpected!).

We both cried, her dad didn't (lol) but we moved on from it almost immediately. Our local schools are good which helps.

cue guilty-parent-anxiety about instigating the process in the first place...

UGH, I know EXACTLY what you mean and it's almost the hardest part of the process! DS2 cried before the exam and didn't want to go in. I was so unsure what to do, but said it was a lovely opportunity and that I thought he should have a go. Then I spent the next 3 hours wandering around town, expecting to get a call from the school saying he was inconsolable and needed to be picked up.

As it turned out, he BOUNDED out of the exam at the end, having loved every minute. 🙄🙂 Maternal guilt is the WORST.

Thanks brisklady and ShebaFelix! I'll let you know - gulp!

We have potential sibling rivalry issues (slightly similar to the OP)... DC1 did really well in 11+ a few years ago - and I know DC2 will be doubly upset if things don't go as planned tomorrow... just hoping that he will be emotionally intact at the end of all this process (cue guilty-parent-anxiety about instigating the process in the first place....)!

Thanks, WhatsGoingOnEh! I will keep all my bits crossed for you for mid-October ;)

Now time for some frenzied displacement housework, I think... probably followed by a night of strange DC2-in-peril dreams like last night...!!!

Yep a week and a bit to go... My DS is very aware - doesn’t help that we’re looking at schools so it sort of brings it to the forefront each time. The local school is not good, others are not in catchment or far away so it’s really not an easy situation. But my main worry is my DS has set his heart on the grammar and I’m not sure how he’ll react if he doesn’t pass.

And everyone said it was easy - apart from him, who said the maths was hard!

Good luck for tomorrow Stoufer - you’re the first so let us know!
