North / East London 11+ for Sept 2022 entry

Hi everyone, I may have missed it but cannot see a thread on this year’s 11+ for North London so thought I’d start one. Is anyone else waiting? Good luck everyone! And for anyone who sat the Forest exam this week, I hope it went well for your child.

@Confusedmimfromberlin how are you doing seeing as your overseas?

Stressedmum2010 · 11/02/2022 09:51

@Wendlty also congratulations to your DD. Can I ask where you are accepting?

Stressedmum2010 · 11/02/2022 09:35

We got Shhs waiting list too. Nothing from Channing yet.

Justanothergirl19 · 11/02/2022 09:14

Congrats @Wendlty

Come on Channing (assuming they are next)!

Wendlty · 11/02/2022 09:10

DD got into SHHS but we will release the place as DD prefers her other offer.

Justanothergirl19 · 11/02/2022 09:09

Chin up ladies, a waiting list place is not a bad result, might mean yes’s elsewhere. Similar timings to last year in communication it seems.

MissScotland · 11/02/2022 09:04

@purpleturtle1 Same here.

purpleturtle1 · 11/02/2022 08:14

SHHS waiting list here… Confused

Confusedmimfromberlin · 11/02/2022 08:05

Good luck to everyone today! Can't believe this day is finally here.

purpleturtle1 · 11/02/2022 07:42

Shout out to everyone this morning anxiously refreshing their emails every few minutes…! X

Stressedmum2010 · 10/02/2022 20:43

I think my DD prefers SHHS but I like Channing. The headmistress seems to know her stuff. My sister who is a teacher up north said there will be movement. It's just a shame they don't tell you where you are on the waiting list.

Good luck to everyone s DDs there isn't long to go now xx

Justanothergirl19 · 10/02/2022 20:24

No, she is at NLCS. Not exactly a tip but something that I witnessed last year was a lot of movement in the week after half term when people started turning down places. The Channing headmistress reminded everyone that a waiting list place is as worthy as an initial offer and the list does move. Which is your favourite? I wish you and DD all the best x

Stressedmum2010 · 10/02/2022 19:25

@justanothergirl19 thank you for the info. I'm dreading opening the email. Does your DD go to Channing or Shhs? Any other late tips if all goes wrong?

Justanothergirl19 · 10/02/2022 18:37

@Stressedmum2010 both of the schools you are waiting on had emailed by 9am last year, just to warn you as it is a bit of a shock!

Stressedmum2010 · 10/02/2022 16:35

@purpleturtle1 we have shhs and Channing and then state options. Which state options are you waiting for? I just want this to be over now x

purpleturtle1 · 10/02/2022 16:29

@Stressedmum2010 just SHHS tomorrow. We have state school options to hear from on the 1st March too.

Stressedmum2010 · 10/02/2022 15:57

@purpleturtle1 what schools are you waiting to hear from?
Has anyone been through this before? I'm guessing the decisions have already been made

purpleturtle1 · 10/02/2022 15:02

A nervous wreck here too!

Stressedmum2010 · 10/02/2022 11:53

Tbh I'm a nervous wreck. Thinking my DD is going to end up with no offers ....

MissScotland · 10/02/2022 11:20

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow! The wait is painful :-)

L0ndonGirl · 10/02/2022 11:17

Can’t believe 11th nearly finally here! Can’t wait to be able to look forward to year 7 knowing where DD is ending up

Justanothergirl19 · 10/02/2022 10:49

How is everyone doing today? Just one day to go!

MissScotland · 02/02/2022 22:56

Interesting.
Gosh, I wish I could fast forward one week 🙈

Stressedmum2010 · 02/02/2022 22:50

Parliament Hill and Camden school for girls as it is also a baby boom year apparently

MissScotland · 02/02/2022 22:48

We're waiting for the usual suspects. Consortium and a couple more schools.
