Trinity & Whitgift 10+/11+ exams 2024 entry

369 replies

SunshineandRainbowMum · 13/09/2023 22:21

Hi everyone,

I'm starting a new thread for those with children who are sitting for the 10+ Trinity and Whitgift exams this year.

I've been lurking for years reading through the 10+ and 11+ past threads, silently sharing in the anxiety, pain and joy of those parents that have come before me 😅.

I can't believe that the time is now here for my DS to sit the 10+ exams.

Are there any other parents that would like to jump on board this thread so we can support each other through the next few months?

Whitgift 10 + emails are out. It's a good news for us.

Yes, he sat for both Trinity and Whitgift 10+, he did not get offered an interview for Trinity. Whitgift is his preference though and so we are keeping fingers crossed.

Does anyone know how many boys sat the Whitgift 10+ how many places are available at 10+?

Good luck to your DS!

My DS also took Trinity & Whitgift tests, he was unsuccessful for Trinity and so hoping for a better outcome for Whitgift.

I am not sure how many boys sat the test and I honestly can't remember how many spaces are available, but I believe it is more than Trinity as they are a bigger school.

Maybe someone else will have more info.

I thought it was after the 11th Jan for Trinity 11+ interview/scholarship invites?

Seekinginfolady · 05/01/2024 23:54

Hello, has everybody who sat the 11+ Trinity exams heard back about whether they got through to the interview round phase please? Thank you.

I think the music scholarship assessments are from 15th January onwards. DS sat the 10+ music scholarship audition, his slot was on the first day, so I guess, 15th or 16th.

Hello @PamZg just wondering what level ur DS was? I will DM u we submitted the pre audition video but have no real idea what standard expected

Gigigigigigi · 05/01/2024 19:32

Hello,
just wondered if anyone heard anything this week at all?

Good luck to everyone sitting the Whitgift 11+ today!

bigschoolsdilemma · 03/01/2024 21:36

Ps. Just saw on their site that sport assessments are on the 16th. No dates for interviews yet.

bigschoolsdilemma · 03/01/2024 21:25

And does anyone know when we can expect Trinity interviews / scholarship assessments? Likewise, would be good to plan but I'm not aware of any possible dates...

Moresleepandwine · 03/01/2024 19:49

@SunshineandRainbowMum , that's very short notice for interviews on the 13th. Presumably they will just issue the slots and we have to make it work somehow.

Happy New Year!

@SunshineandRainbowMum , hope it's positive news for you from Whitgift. Did they say they would be contacting parents from 8th onwards?

Thank you 😊.

The last email that I received said that interview invitations would be emailed from Tuesday 9th January and boys who have not been selected for interview will be advised by email as soon as possible in early January.

Fingers crossed for those waiting to hear back from Whitgift 10+.

@F1okoboji yes. How did your ds find it. Mine said maths was OK but not so sure on the English. Bit worried as English is normally his stronger one

F1okoboji · 15/12/2023 13:47

Did anyone sit 11+ plus exam on Wednesday 13th?

bigschoolsdilemma · 15/12/2023 09:50

No, they didn't. They just said they will be in touch on the 8th Jan or at some point that week. No dates for scholarship assessments either...

Hey everyone,
Thank you for the messages, I was surprised that it affected me so much, but after speaking things through with DH I have gotten over myself lol.
Keeping our fingers crossed for Whitgift and if not we will see this year as a practice run and try again next year for the 11+.

Did Trinity give you a date for the interviews?

OP posts:
bigschoolsdilemma · 15/12/2023 08:36

So sorry @SunshineandRainbowMum but, as others have said, don't worry about Whitgift too much and assume it will be negative. From my experience with my older son who went through it all a few years ago, their perception of difficulty or how well they've done is often very misleading. Sometimes they find things easy only because they don't actually spot the difficulty in a question. And, the other way round. Sometimes they perform better in tests they find difficult.

Moresleepandwine · 14/12/2023 21:08

Hi @SunshineandRainbowMum , sorry to hear that Trinity didn't work out. But Whitgift looks for a different type of child and it's not over yet. Good luck to your DS for Whitgift!

Thanks @LoveBlueCheese, DS has actually taken the news really well (much better than I did) which is a big relief. We are of course hoping that in January Whitgift is a more positive outcome. x
