Alleyn's 11+ 2019

I have seen threads for Whitgift/Trinity, Dulwich College and others but I haven't seen much about Alleyn's.

My dd sat the exam last Tuesday. She found it "not too bad" but definitely got one of the later Maths questions wrong.

Just wondering if anyone else on MN waiting to hear about interviews?

The scholarship interview consisted then of an interview with the head/Deputy - a general chit-chat and a hypothetical situation (what would you do type thing). Then ther was an English discussion about a poem and some maths conundrums.

Scholarship interview invites were by email - ds came on the 22nd January a couple of years ago. It's almost certain your child will have a place if they are invited as then it is just a case of whether they get the scholarship.

I think in previous years they have notified people earlier about academic scholarship interviews, but perhaps this year they're sticking to the 22nd for all interview notifications...

I don’t think the letters for interviews are posted until the 22nd Jan.

From memory it’s about 250 for interview... don’t think the exam results are coming out until next week, not this.

Wow! Nearly 1000 applicants! Do you know how many they will interview?

Summersunandflowers · 13/01/2019 08:53

I think there were about 930 who sat on Tuesday! Letters should arrive early this week for interviews.

My dd wasn’t a fan of the spatial reasoning either. Dd had a number in the high 700s. I wonder if that means there were 800+ kids?

Hi, my DD also sat the 11+ at Alleyns and thought it went well although she found some of the spatial reasoning hard.

Does anyone know how many applied this year?
