Withington Girls School Entrance Exams

[yummymumoftwoandanangel]

We have registered our 10 year old daughter to write the secondary school entrance exams in January 2013. Can anyone please recommend any private tutors who are specialised in this particular entrance exam? Thanks.

Yes that's right. Thank you inthedarkaboutfashion. It's a long wait!

Hi papag13
Just to let you know that I've heard of one phone call invitation for interview but no letters as yet. Any news your end?

No new messages just pick my dd up from a other exam and non of the mums there had a call or text from withington.... :-(

@ Wotsit123 any news?
We dont had a call, so I think ...:-(

Hi
No call for me yet. I know of two who have had one so far. It was ony yesterday though. But no letter either so don't give up hope. Did your daughter do Man High?

@wotsit Yes and she has a Interview... Your's?

Yes she does. We got a letter today. Is Withington your preference?

Hm is a big chance, but mhsg too... We will see when all the results are here.... She also did Cheadle witch is a mixed school, what I really like....

I'll let you know if I hear. Good luck!

Same to you! X

Just to say that I got a phone call today about the interview - so there is still hope! Thanks for everyone contributing to this thread - it's been v. useful!

Well done miljones1. Good luck with the interview!

hi my daughter sat the exam we heard back monday she got interview this morning. Any advice plz?

hi yummymumoftwoandanangel thank you for your message. I've not been on the site for a while but jst seen your message it was very nice of you to remember.

@sammads123: good luck!

hi Papagei13 thank you she went for her interview today it went well so fingers cross.

Hey Papagei 13. It's not looking good for us is it? I think they would have been called by now? What do you think?

Hi. I'm brand new on here (first post!), but I've been looking at this thread for a few days, nervous, just like everyone else! Just wanted to say Wotsit123, not to give up hope yet. I only just got a call very late afternoon today, so they are still being made. I heard that it does take them some time to get through them all and i know of someone last year that got a call a good two weeks, almost three weeks after the exam. Fingers crossed for you and your daughter.

Awww bless you Dizzymum that's made me feel loads better! Good luck with your interview! X

Thanks :) It's a nervy time all round isn't it?! Not sure this phone call system is the best way I must say. Wonder why they don't do what the other schools do and just send out a batch of letters?! At least everyone knows where they stand at the same time rather than having the drip drip of info coming through! Good luck. x

@ wotsit123: an other day, an other chance... Fingers crossed xxx
@dizzymum: congratulation!

@Papagei 13 thanks. Fingers crossed for you too! I am certain there are more calls to come. Everything I have heard and keep hearing suggests it takes quite a while for them to get through the whole process. Keep the faith!

I rang earlier and they said calls are being made and we should hear by tomorrow if we've got an interview. So I'm thinking keep the faith until tomorrow afternoon! Good luck to those still waiting! I much prefer man high's letter system! Much less stressful!

@wotsit123: thank's a lot for the information.... We will see.... But I think game is over to be honest-fokus on the other schools.... i prefered the Mhsg system too, everybody at the same time..... My dothers best friend had a call yesterday, now she is really upsed..... Poor little girl.....

Awww I'm sorry your daughter is upset. You're right it's increasingly unlikely but still you never know. Keep going! X
