Trinity/Whitgift 2021 entry

558 replies

I have found the previous threads for Trinity/Whitgift entry really helpful, and I don’t think there is a 2021 yet. My son will be trying for 10+, and for a sports scholarship. He is bright, and pleased to be back training for his sports, but he gets really stressed in exam situations and works slowly. He is only trying Trinity this year because he is not at all sure he wants to leave his primary school, but if he managed to get a scholarship I think he might decide to go.

I was hoping the activity on the exam day might help motivate him, but we got the email saying it wouldn’t be happening because of Covid. Can I ask if anyone had more success at 11+ than 10+? Do they ever offer academic and sports scholarships? I am assuming that we will more have the issue of him getting stressed in the exam, and not passing, than standing a chance of a scholarship, but just thinking of best possible scenario Wink. Thanks!

Ah sorry just saw that last post :)

Unicorns4ever · 11/02/2021 12:24

Has anyone checked with T that it’s definitely today?

Daydreamer85 · 11/02/2021 12:24

@NamBo well done calling them and thanks for the information.

Could people kindly post when emails start arriving tomorrow please.

Good luck to everyone

I just called and spoke to someone at Trinity. 10+ offer letters are being posted today and we will get an email (and post) tomorrow. They didn’t know what time tomorrow the email would be sent.

So we can stop refreshing the page now 😂

@Longingfornormality

I think the official line is that they’re sending results today and I had always assumed that would be by physical post. But one of the previous posters was told in an interview that we might get emails today. I think safe to assume that one way or another we will get something on Friday whether email or post.
thank you! love the username :)

good luck to you all

@Bexbrom you’re not alone! 🥺😀

user1468247878 · 11/02/2021 11:19

silly question on my part, but isnt today the day offers are being posted out, rather than being made available electronically? ie there is nothing coming our way today, its tomorrow that is the nerve jangler!

Sorry for the silly question but I can't find the portal - can anyone tell me how to find it again

Thanks

Bexbrom · 11/02/2021 10:45

@Mando30 Dulwich is physically posting offers on Thursday and emailing on Friday. This was confirmed in the latest comms from them.

Mando30 · 10/02/2021 11:50

Thanks @Croydon46 - I was wondering if anyone had communicated with T regarding their offers.

Has anyone else spoken to them? Wondered whether they would email on Thursday when usually it’s Friday that results are received...

What about Dulwich College - have they sent any update on how they will be communicating?

Croydon46 · 10/02/2021 10:45

Trinity in an interview said to me they will be emailing offers on Thursday rather than sending in the post.

As someone else said- Whitgift communication via email said they will email by 1pm Friday.

Joyofthree · 09/02/2021 13:46

W sent us an email saying, they will be sending their outcomes by email on Friday 12 Feb by 1 pm rather than by post.

Longingfornormality · 08/02/2021 21:18

Thanks @AveEldon, will do!

AveEldon · 08/02/2021 21:12

@Longingfornormality I suspect they may update the admissions portal - worth checking on Friday morning

Longingfornormality · 08/02/2021 19:42

Thanks @Jige. That’s helpful. I may well brace myself to call them on Friday afternoon if haven’t heard by then.

Jige · 08/02/2021 19:27

Historically, both Whitgift and Trinity post on the Thurs 1st class to receive your results the next day Friday before the Feb HT.
Some who don’t receive in the post by a certain time they have said you can call, and usually the admissions department are working through the HT hol so always someone there to speak to.
Considering that post has been sporadic in some postal areas, I would think it would not be unreasonable to question whether this year they would send results by email as well? If they say no then from what time can you call them on the Fri 12th to inquire regards results.

I’ve been through this process twice, and it’s an awful process but can’t imagine what you ladies and your sons must be going through this year with the pandemic and the change in exam process.
Good luck to all the mums and your sons, I truly hope you get the results you want this Friday!!!

Longingfornormality · 08/02/2021 18:53

Does anyone know whether Trinity is intending to send an email on Friday as well as posting out 11+ results on Thursday? I know a couple of other schools are doing that. Our local postal system is a bit erratic at the moment so I’m trying to figure out whether it is realistic to find out results this week...
