Does anyone know if the the boys take a CAT test for Hampton boys?

No they do the school's own test in Writing and maths. - usually Nov time.

If you mean as part of the admissions test, No.

I noticed increasing interest in 10+ in recent years, from the people around me, to avoid the stress of 11+ (of course) and a card to play as insurance

SMX · 15/11/2023 15:10

Anyone knows how many will get into the interview round?

My son didn’t get an interview either. I knew it was going to be competitive, but I was still so hopeful! am dreading the entire 11+ process. Where/when/how to start?

When I talk to the Hampton admission, they said that around 450 applied for 10+ this year. The competition is really high..

Read another thread Hampton 10+ 2022 that 200+ applied last year. This year is definitely more competitive.

Yes, no good news for us. Really need to evaluate the approach as we overtutored in english but did very little in maths (just some papers at home). @Ilikelists hope you had better luck!

Definitely not the same message to everyone. We almost dropped out of the whole private School thing after the 10+ but the admissions team were really helpful and gave us precise feedback on my son's strengths and weaknesses (based on the exam) so we decided to keep going and are so glad that we did. My son adores the School and is thriving there.

twfootballmum · 11/11/2023 22:44

Thanks @redrobin75 , that's really good to know. I only know one boy 2 years ago who took the 10+ ( didn't get an interview, but received encouraging feedback from Hampton) and didn't get a place at 11+ either. So I was under the impression that they sent the same message to everyone.

redrobin75 · 11/11/2023 21:21

Lots of parents use the 10plus as practice for being in an exam room and possibly having an interview. It also gives you an idea of where your dc sits in the cohort and you can get feedback re their exam performance.The offer of a place does always mean the payment of a non refundable deposit!

twfootballmum · 11/11/2023 20:57

Only 11+ at Kings. We are not considering it as it's too far, but our tutor mentioned their tests are not the most difficult and big focus placed on interviews. Most kids in the exam room at Hampton said they were taking the Kingston test in Jan too :)
