11+ waiting for results

313 replies

Hi there

My twins have both taken the 11+ in Bucks today. Results come out on 13th October, I think. It could really go either way for both of them. My biggest fear is that one gets in and the other does not (really quite possible).
Saw that last year there was a thread from parents during the waiting period and I wondered if anyone wanted to take part in a hand holding thread this year (for any county). Obviously have to be very careful what I say to DTs so would be useful to vent here.

Anyone else in similar position?

MrsTWH I think it’s fine - as long as there’s no way he’ll find out!

My son failed Reading boys too :( quite badly I think although not sure what the average score is or highest for that matter. I hope your son doesnt take it too badly :(

MrsTWH · 16/10/2018 10:22

@WhatsGoingOnEh no, he didn’t pass. Ah well, what will be will be. Again I loved the Local comp and so did he, so I’m not too sad! I think I’m going to tell a white lie and say he passed but not by enough to get a place/apply... Is that bad?! It’s horrible to brand your ten year old a failure!

@thereisnorinbath hopefully you've found it now. I think it is a big blue button in the top right hand corner of the screen once you've signed in.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 16/10/2018 09:29

@MrsTWH Hope you get good news!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 16/10/2018 09:21

How do we tell our kids their results (if they didn't pass) without crushing their tiny spirits?! He wanted to go to the comprehensive school, but I don't want him to feel like a failure.

WhatsGoingOnEh · 16/10/2018 09:16

Reading School results are out and DS2 didn't pass. I'm quite surprised, I must admit. He's really bright!

The good news is, he LOVES our local secondary school and wanted to go there anyway. So I guess it's a positive result for him. Still quite surprised, though.

thereisnorinbath · 16/10/2018 09:05

Buggered if I can find a 'print' button on the CSSE site to get the results! Can anybody tell me where it is please?!

PerspicaciaTick · 16/10/2018 08:30

@thereisnorinbath yes the csse website is working.

Ouch44 · 16/10/2018 08:24

Facebook memories today showed me my DS got his results this day 2 years ago. Thanks! thats just going to make the waiting even harder!!

thereisnorinbath · 16/10/2018 08:23

Is the online link working for Essex yet, does anybody know? I can't get in...

PerspicaciaTick · 16/10/2018 08:09

Totallyliterally, well done to your DS too.

We're ic for KEGS so I think that would be favourite.

totallyliterally · 16/10/2018 07:28

I couldn't wait.. we have a 336 pass in catchment so can pick our school 😬

Have told him and he is delighted.

Well done everyone else too!

Highbeam · 16/10/2018 07:27

Well done @PerspicaciaTick , everybody I know in that zone got a place.
Do you have a preference?

TwinMummy30 · 16/10/2018 07:24

Anyone had any news from Slough consortium?

PerspicaciaTick · 16/10/2018 07:16

Crawford? Crisscross. Sorry

PerspicaciaTick · 16/10/2018 07:15

Well done to Crawford's DC too. Such a relief.

PerspicaciaTick · 16/10/2018 07:14

Highbeam, congratulations to your DS that is a stunning mark.
My DS is solidly in the Amber zone for KEGS, WHSB and SHSB so still in with a realistic chance. It's going to be a long wait until March.

Highbeam · 16/10/2018 07:13

Congratulations @crisscrosscranky xx

JayDot500 · 16/10/2018 07:12

Been lurking but @crisscross I'm so happy for you after the stress of seeing the results beforehand!

brisklady · 16/10/2018 07:11

Congratulations crisscross!

Highbeam · 16/10/2018 07:10

DS scored 357 , l can't quite believe how well he has done. Good luck to everyone waiting in Essex. xx

crisscrosscranky · 16/10/2018 06:59

A pass. Phew

totallyliterally · 16/10/2018 06:45

Good luck!
