Wimbledon High School WHS creative assessment

[TFpa]

My dd is fortunate to get through the 1st stage assessment of WHS Year7 entry, and is asked to join their creative assessment day in Jan. We are new to this term 'creative assessment', and so would like to see if any mums and their daughters have joined this before and get us some ideas on what this assessment is actually like, e.g. group activities plus interview or whatsoever ? Thanks all for your advice.

You need to ask Mumsnet to move this to the Secondary Education thread. As the session was online last year there is lots of feedback on the SW London girls threads from Jan 2021.

Hi All, hope you all well, please can you advise on Guildford high school interview, if your daughter have appeared for interview at GHS, what kinda questions they ask, my daughter is quite shy, and don't know how it will going to be. We all are nervous and hope to get some advice here. I will be really grateul for your replies.
Many thanks

Hi, my daughter did this last year. She is now in year 7 at WHS. It was a group assessment lasting about 45 mins. I think there were about 5 or 6 of them being assessed together. It was a test you could not prepare for. It was based on logic and analysis. From what my daughter told me, there were a few aspects to the test. I think she said part of the assessment involved being given a text and being asked to read it (within a given amount of time) and then the teachers asked them questions about it. Then there was a discussion amongst them. There was another part after that but we can't remember. I think what helped my daughter is that she is an avid reader and generally inquisitive. I know that this is not hugely helpful but I really don't think you can prepare for the second stage.

Thanks Mamaoftwogirls, that's very helpful
