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?

Awake from 4:30am. Can't access results yet.

Said I'd not look till after 9am anyway but that is going to be a struggle!

No leaks from teachers about what mean marks are?!

Would love to know this!!

MrsTWH · 15/10/2018 18:31

@WhatsGoingOnEh definitely Wednesday as I will be stuck on a 9hour flight with no WiFi!! Sod’s law..

@MrsTWH I had heart failure when I saw the email subject line with RESULTS in it! 😆

It's bound to be Wednesday as I'm in hospital having a general anaesthetic that afternoon (only a tiny operation, nothing too scary although I am a massive worrier about anything health-related) so I won't be able to read the email. Hopefully I'll live to see how it turned out...

MrsTWH · 15/10/2018 15:21

Thought the results had come out, got an email... and it basically says “please stop ringing us!” Grin

Hoping tonight’s governor meeting is to verify results and they’ll be out maybe Weds?

BluthsFrozenBananas · 15/10/2018 13:32

Waiting for the results is horrible, but at least in Kent we had a set day, not knowing when they're going to come in must be hell.

The girls grammar here had an open morning this morning, a quick chat with the admissions people confirmed that from where we live a place at the school is almost certain for DD as long as we put them as our first choice. I still won’t be entirely able to relax until March when we get confirmation of the place though.

Fingers crossed for all of those still waiting.

We do not have a confirmed date for releasing the results of the admission tests for entry in Year 7 in September 2019. These will be made available before the end of this week once our internal checking processes are complete. Our Receptionist or Admissions Team cannot give you any further information than this. Your patience is appreciated in this matter.

Meaning: stop ringing the school to ask if the results are out yet Grin

Mountainscalling · 15/10/2018 13:19

Kendrick have added this to their website today....

MrsTWH · 15/10/2018 13:14

And Kendrick website says mid to end of October!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/10/2018 12:22

I'm jumping every time I get an email notification, but I don't "feel" it'll be today. I think tomorrow. No reason, just a feeling.

I've stalked the website again 😆and found this, which doesn't even say "mid-October", but just any day before the 31st:

Results
Reading School will post results of tests securely online to parents in advance of the Common Application date (31st October 2018)...

😓😓😓

totallyliterally · 15/10/2018 12:14

Haha @WhatsGoingOnEh

So true!

Holidayshopping · 15/10/2018 11:23

Yes, @whatsgoingoneh

Except this feels like I’m waiting for a boy (I really like) to call, but there’s a high chance he’s phoning to tell me he wants to ask my friend out!

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/10/2018 10:51

This is worse than being a teenager and waiting for a boy to call.

Ouch44 · 15/10/2018 10:27

Waiting for Trafford results here too. I tutored my DD myself so extra stressed.

Officially results due to be posted Fri her but last year people received them from 4 days earlier on the Tues. Two years earlier when DS did it they came out on the day they said. Have told my DS to have a look in the office at school (one DD sat for) and to see if they are stuffing a load of envelopes!!
Also asked him to ask but doubt he'll remember either. Actually a vibe might help him remember!

Highbeam · 15/10/2018 09:36

Best of luck to everyone waiting in Essex. @crisscrosscranky ,@holidayshopping , @hoistmeupjudy and @totallyliterally I hope it works out to the marks that you need. I think we are luckier than some other areas as our non grammar school choices are good.It is still an awful system though.

totallyliterally · 15/10/2018 09:05

@Holidayshopping @crisscrosscranky

Really hope the marks are enough for you both, I'm totally in the dark. This time tomorrow we shall know.

Today will be about keeping busy!

My boy is clueless, not on his radar even it's tomorrow.

crisscrosscranky · 15/10/2018 08:54

Sick feeling here too- I think it's dread actually. I've seen the marks and know it's not good news so it's bit like waiting for a car crash to happen 😢

Holidayshopping · 15/10/2018 08:32

@totallyliterally me too.

I feel sick Confused.

Hope today goes quickly...

WhatsGoingOnEh · 15/10/2018 08:02

Hi @MrsTWH -- oh, interesting!

When I saw your notification on my phone, I thought you'd got your results!

I totally feel your pain. I'd much prefer a set results day. I will be jumping and checking my junk email folder all day today just in case.

MrsTWH · 15/10/2018 07:18

@WhatsGoingOnEh I’ve just noticed that they also had an admissions meeting Thurs 11th. And again tonight like you said. Does that mean they meet before and after the results are out or just before?!? I really hope it’s today, I’m struggling with not knowing the day. I constantly check my emails. It’s frustrating!

totallyliterally · 15/10/2018 06:43

One more day. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep past 4:30am after tomorrow!

Gizlotsmum · 14/10/2018 09:00

Oh bless her. That was our biggest fear too! However I had already prepared various speeches on how it was performance on two days not a reflection of her and the fact that she even tried was good enough.
