Harrow/Eton/Winchester Entry 2027

[Num1]

Hi all,

Just thought I would start a thread for Entry 2027 for the above.

My DS has had the invite for the Harrow Test in Jan 2025, has anyone heard back for Eton or Winchester?

i appreciate its just a waiting game, but am asking out of curiosity.

Hi good morning, @Tobstar106 are you in the erly tranche ? I believe it will be sometime mid Next month, so they said. It very stressful the waiting to be honest, but very little we can do about it . I therefore decided to take my mind off of it. Now that we finished all assessments and interviewed stages. When ever it lands the inbox would display the email, i don’t want to take part in this waiting game anymore.

Yep we are in the same position as you ! It is awful …. I have constant butterflies , did you do Radley as well ?
I’m checking the email every second !!!

Tell me Abou it .
no we didn’t do Radley. Did you .

Radley sent offer on 7th March last year, 8th March the year before.

Agreed, DS's Radley offer letter was emailed on 7th March 2025 and the Harrow offer letter was on 8th April 2025.

Yes we did four , Harrow ,Winchester Eton and Radley

@Shakespearessister1980 not too long to go then !!

Chill out a bit

you can’t control when the emails will come or what information they contain

May I ask what guided your application thought process?

They are 4 quite different schools

I find this question quite intriguing and, mainly when people they are quite different schools.

how many did you apply for and and what guided you ? @MissDaisy1982
shouldn’t all schools be different ? Even as individuals we are all human but yet unique in our own way.
i believes 60 % of not more of 13+ applicants will apply for 2-4 of this school at same time, however this same question keeps coming back like it is very weird or abnormal things to do .

What a load of waffle! LOL

Just to point out to @Ayome and @Tobstar106 - there is another thread for entry Sept 2028. My understanding is (and forgive me if I misunderstood) that your boys are waiting for their Yr 6 tranche 2 offers (i.e. T1, T2, T3 being based solely on birthdate). This thread here would be for Yr 6 boys now, so you're likely to find more people on that thread in a similar position. This thread was for boys who already have a place for Sept 2027 (plus any late /waiting list place offers).

But for information, DS did his interview in March 2025 and the offer arrived just after the start of summer term - later and the wait was longer than for other schools.

We only applied to one of these (and then day schools) but are they really so different? If you really loved Eton where else would you apply for back-up? Ditto Radley and Harrow. I can see Winchester a bit different because it is going / gone (?) co-ed.

@Lilylol thank you that is helpful
