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!

@croydon46 - the session is pretty much as outlined in the email. My DS found it quite enjoyable and a lot better than some online scholarship assessments - not mentioning any names!

@croydon46 here was loads of information in the email about the Trinity 10+ assessment. The powerpoint slide show tells you what will be in each session. As far as I can see the only physical test will be the broad jump.

Hi! Does anyone know what the deal is with the trinity 10+ entry now after the interviews are done, when should we expect to hear something ?

hopefulone1 · 25/01/2021 20:39

Is anyone waiting to here back from W for a sports scholarship- if they have a interview? For the 11+ - thanks

@Cantthinkof0ne
School offers on 11th feb. Whitgift told us that

Croydon46 · 25/01/2021 18:43

@Cantthinkof0ne sorry it was rejection from Whitgift sports scholarship only.

Yey22 · 25/01/2021 18:42

A combination at both schools.

flipflop12345 · 25/01/2021 18:00

@Yey22 thank you for sharing, that's good to know. Out of interest was your son offered an academic scholarship or other scholarship (ie music/DT/art/sports), or a combination of both?

Cantthinkof0ne · 25/01/2021 17:53

Hi @Croydon46 . Sorry to hear your son didn’t get a sports scholarship. Was that with Trinity or Whitgift? Do you know when they issue offers for school places?

Sorry to hear that @Croydon46. Can I ask if anyone else has heard positive news about 10+ sport scholarship interviews? Thanks!

We just got an email to say DS has not got the sports scholarship 10plus. Just posting for information

hopefulone1 · 25/01/2021 13:14

Enolanotalone - my ds applied for a sports scholarship but have not heard anything back which might mean it's not good news - what was the main sport your ds is doing ? As they might be doing it via sport ? Was it a group interview?

EnolanotAlone · 25/01/2021 12:51

This relates to 11+.

scubadiver123 · 25/01/2021 12:40

@EnolanotAlone Could you detail whether it was 10 or11+.. also the format?
We haven't heard anything about a 10+ sports interview.

Croydon46 · 24/01/2021 19:01

@EnolanotAlone
Is that regarding the11plus? Sports interview

EnolanotAlone · 24/01/2021 18:06

What did people think of the W Sports session interview ?

Yey22 · 24/01/2021 17:41

It may have changed but for my son he got offered an scholarship for both trinity and whitgift.

On the interview letter for trinity it was not stated that it was for an scholarship but for whitgift it was. For Trinity my son was interviewed at the start of interviews for whitgift he attended the scholarship days at the end so we heard late on so when you were called didn’t necessarily mean anything.

Re scholarship I think it ranges from 5% to 50%, the higher end tend to be multiple scholarship (academic with something else) in my experience.

Goodluck everyone x

I have checked all my emails and the portal. DH said he has checked too. I guess I’ll need to wait to hear from the school Confused

check all junk folders, spam and DH email address. T was the only school to email to DH solely, we are both on registration.

@LillyD- yes, it did confuse me a bit. Luckily my husband checked his emails on Thursday, and DS had his interview this morning. Very short notice. Good luck with your DS interview.

LillyD · 23/01/2021 11:48

@ShirleyMum - our invite to interview was also sent to my husband and not me. So all my obsessive refreshing had been for naught!
