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"?

No, but my scrolling thumb is getting sore! I'd quite like to know so I can get on with some actual work!

Hi
Anyone got the email?

@LigurianBread

A student has already received his 11+ Dulwich offer this afternoon. Good luck to you all waiting.
Was that by post. We still have Christmas cards trickling in as sorting office was struck by huge covid staffing shortages so not holding my breath for that one.

I sadly cannot recall exactly which school of 4 schools we were waiting /stalking, however few fellow mums attempted the portal in desperation last year (either night prior or morning of and spotted acceptance.. quickly followed by a school email.

I’ve logged on to my portals too and I can’t find anything. I guess just wait and see. Good luck everyone

@MrsHGWells

For those not able to sleep, log on to your school application registration you might possibly see a welcome pack or indication of a pending offer. Good luck everyone!
What school was this for?
KillingEvenings · 10/02/2022 20:31

Nothing on DC or T's application portals. I''m going to take that to mean they haven't posted anything rather than DS hasn't gotten in.

I think they all agree that the news should be released on the 11th so anyone breaking this would be on the naughty list :D

I like that idea! Sadly W doesn't have an online system (I don't think, although someone please tell me if I'm wrong!). We currently have a waitlist place at another school, so nerves in shreds for the morning!

effemme Thanks. Fully read above messages. Stress got me 😀😀

effemme · 10/02/2022 16:48

@silver12 she said it was a reply to her enquiry. We'll all get emails tomorrow.

silver12 · 10/02/2022 16:04

Spanishmum2 What time did DC send you email? I haven’t got any which makes me nervous 😟

effemme · 10/02/2022 13:51

@Spanishmum2 Thanks for clarifying. I have been thinking this might have been the case.

Spanishmum2 · 10/02/2022 13:36

Oh, I just emailed the school to see if we’d get the results today or tomorrow and that is what they answered. We’ll have to wait until tomorrow

effemme · 10/02/2022 13:23

@Gladwhenitsover I did not receive it either! Now I start to wonder.....

Gladwhenitsover · 10/02/2022 12:52

@spanishmum2 We didn’t get any email from DC yet - perhaps they prioritise those who will get an offer? Or am I reading too much into this? So fed up with this whole process!!

Spanishmum2 · 10/02/2022 12:26

I just got this email from Dulwich college:
“A letter posted today and an email sent tomorrow.”

We’ll have to wait one more day

effemme · 10/02/2022 11:04

@stripymum

Do we think we will get an email from Dulwich today?
I though so, but the website says they are posterd out today. So I guess they will email tomorrow? Nervewracking.
W1980 · 10/02/2022 10:47

Thank you! I thought it was tomorrow. Now I’m nervous…

JustTryingouthere · 10/02/2022 10:45

@W1980, yes it was 11+

JustTryingouthere · 10/02/2022 10:44

@W1980 it was via email at 8.40am. With an attachment

W1980 · 10/02/2022 10:32

Hi Just trying, I thought RR were being posted for tomorrow? Is this for the boys 11+?

Thanks
