Trinity/Whitgift/Dulwich College 10+/11+ 2021

Hello,

as mentioned countless times, I found the previous years' threads very useful, so it is now time to start this year's.

DS sat the 11+ reasoning test at DC yesterday. He'll sit the morning slot at trinity and we are awaiting confirmation of assessment date from Whitgift.

DS is remarkably relaxed so far. I, on the other hand, am a little apprehensive about the next few weeks.

How are everyone else's DSs feeling before "the storm"?

@Sweetnhappy1

Does anyone know when we'll hear from Whitgift?
The email said from the end of this week.

Thanks @Sayithowitisbaby. I think next week is when they send out the 'no emails'...

@Itsallpurple

Has anyone heard back yet from Trinity today for the 11+?
Nope nothing yet but they did say in the email that notifications would be from next week.

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from DC re 11+ interviews? Thanks!

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/12/2021 12:29

DC and Wetherby, of the London schools. I know Charterhouse has sent its interview lists out but we haven't applied there.

LondonerByDay · 21/12/2021 12:25

Did you hear from any other 13+ schools @PenguindreamsofDraco?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/12/2021 12:21

@LondonerByDay

We've heard from DC for 13+ interviews but no dates yet. Apparently Trinity has started calling people with 13+ interview confirmations, but we haven't heard yet. If you don't get a call from Trinity by January 10, that means a no I guess!
Ah really? Ouch. Long wait over Christmas!

ahh, okay. I wasn't expecting to hear back from DC or Trinity until January but perhaps for pretests it's a slightly different timescale.

Has anyone else heard about interviews from either?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/12/2021 09:33

Yep I meant pre testing for 13+. But they sit the same exam as the 11+ applicants.

TypsTrycks · 20/12/2021 23:29

Trinity 11+ doesn’t use ISEB scores. Trinity 13+ uses ISEB for the pre-test route along with the written exam scores.

Winifredgoose · 20/12/2021 21:16

Trinity don't use the ISEB, just their own exams?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 20/12/2021 13:55

Does anyone have any idea what weight Trinity places on ISEB? DS is through to interview with DC but much prefers T. I am just wondering whether call back for DC may be a good or indifferent sign for T!

Makes sense

morasmum · 09/12/2021 12:34

You are right. But since the interviews start on the 10th, probably they will call the first batch of interviewees after the 1st.

W1980 · 09/12/2021 12:16

I see. Although it actually says you will get an email on the 10th if you are not successful. So I assumed the calls would be happening before that date as that’s how they inform the successful ones…

morasmum · 09/12/2021 12:03

@W1980 the email they sent afer Saturday explained that they would contact everyone on 10 January to let them know whether or not they would be interviewed.

So the waiting is on until then!

W1980 · 09/12/2021 11:45

Hi,

Just wondering when we think we’ll start to hear back for the T 11+. I see form last year (poss2019) they were sat beginning of January and in some cases results were in a few days after!

What do we think? this side of Christmas or maybe new year?

Thanks

suchnonsense · 06/12/2021 13:33

Hot dogs and Star Wars?! W only had Jaffa cakes, so that might be a disappointment if your DSs are doing W next weekend!

morasmum · 06/12/2021 08:20

Yes! How did i forget! Definitely Stars Wars and hot dogs the highlight for DS as well.

jac108 · 05/12/2021 20:54

The highlight for my Ds was watching Star Wars in the auditorium whilst they waited for everyone to arrive, also the Hot Dogs.
Im just happy he had a positive day.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 05/12/2021 20:25

Really boring creative writing prompts and horrendous VR is what DS brought back with him.
Hot dogs were good though Grin

morasmum · 05/12/2021 18:15

DS was knackered after yesterday! He brought a letter from T confirming they will email parents on 10-Jan to tell whether or not DSs will be interviewed. I think that is a brilliant move, as the worst part is the waiting not knowing!

Quiet weekend and from tomorrow getting ready for the next. DC on Wednesday for him.
