11+ waiting for results

DD has started to stress about it now; she doesn't mind what school she goes to but she hates the idea of having to tell people she's failed

Relieved over here too! DS2 can join DC1 .... and it’s years til we need to worry about DC3😂

And we have a pass!! So relieved

I would assume before the results go out... looks like we could be waiting til end of the week?!

In lieu of hearing any news, I've taken to stalking the Reading School website. 😆

Remember, we don't get a results day - they only say "mid October". Argh.

I've just found this in the Calendar, for Monday. Is this the Admissions Committee discussing results before they send them out, or afterwards?

Is anyone waiting for the Trafford results?? My DSis is beside herself with stress waiting for the results for her DS. She has been told it could be any time in the next week!!

DS has a score here of 376 with a pass mark of around 300/310. However we are just over the catchment boundary, so who knows? My son will be waiting in the queue for a place behind everyone else whose postcode fitted better.

"So is this a post code lottery then, mum?" says DS cheerfully.

The positive thing is that he has been quite phlegmatic about it all, and we did minimum of preparation, no tutoring and little impingement on other activities. Also the other choices round here aren't terrible. The obvious alternatives just don't do much for gifted children to stretch them. That is, according to the Ofsted reports and GCSE results breakdown figures.

Another positive thing, that I will be bearing in mind as I (probably) gear up for appealing, is that we are very lucky to have the "problem" of how best to nurture an support a clever child.

Lots of passes coming through from friends....🤢

School won’t say anything-they’ll be in trouble if they did!

PM me if you want to discuss scores and applications-what have you found out?!

@Holidayshopping very similar here.

I emailed school yesterday as they get results on Monday and there is also possibility of logging on before school on Tuesday. But I want him to come home on Tuesday after school and open the results in calm of home and then have the evening to deal with the aftermath.

So asked them to not tell him his results at all. Hopefully they'll abide by this.

I've been reading far too much about scores and applications and what it could all mean.

My boy is utterly oblivious about it all, told him we will open It on Tuesday after school

Yep, we’re still waiting in Reading! But no idea when they’ll be out. It’s very frustrating.

3 days to go until the Essex results are out-am finding it difficult to concentrate on anything else-is anyone around to share my woes?!

Momoftwins: what a situation you are in. There must be a special policy for twins especially for such a narrow miss. I am keeping fingers crossed that the school will understand and make it an exception for your twin.

Absolutely @namechangedyetagain my biggest issue will be persuading her if she has failed that it doesn’t mean she is stupid ( she’s naturally very self critical)

Same here. Have to wait until March to find out if there's a place based on the usual ordering criteria, LAC, siblings, forces, DL , church attendance, then distance. Depends how many passed and how far down the list i guess.

Trying not to stress too much as this bit is beyond our control ultimately and there are worse things that can happen in life than not getting the preferred school, even when is been worked so hard for.

What a tricky line to have to walk @mumoftwins

Bizarrely even if we pass it doesn’t guarantee a place so we still have to wait till March to know if we are in ( although if we fail it does make choices easier)

Mumoftwins that's awful I really feel for you. Here there are only 3 outcomes to the test: pass, fail or waiting list. If you're on the waiting list, you're told where you rank. We've had good news today, DD and the bestie she's had forever (as in since she was a month old!), have both passed. Good luck to all those still waiting and appealing

Mumoftwins how difficult! I hope your twin 1 can be proud of her score and successfully review and your twin 2 gets to enjoys her success.
I’ve just read this thread as waiting on DS2’s results- apparently they should have been posted first class today and I am suddenly really anxious....it’s a tough time even though we haven’t made a big deal out of it.

Mumoftwins, if you're not already familiar with it, do have a look at the elevenplus forum - there's nothing they don't know about appeals! Loads of really helpful advice and there's a poster on there who went through exactly this with her twins a couple of years ago - she gave me some v helpful advice last year (am a fellow twin mum here and thought one dt had really messed up). link here

argh MumOfTwins that is really tough. Best of luck with your appeal.

Oh no probably not then, this will only be for 2019 intake, if you want to go later you will have to retest. DS’s school do their own tests for subsequent years.

But is it worth doing if we aren't going to put in grammar right now. But maybe later on?
