st paul's deferred entry exam tomorrow

[LovelyDear]

anyone's ds done this one? They have to be there from 8.30 til 1.20 but there's no mention of food/drink. Should i send him with a snack or will he (as he supects) look like the geeky weirdo?

Ds is sitting an entrance exam on Wednesday, IIRC they give them a break andd offer them a snack (a piece of fruit or a kit kat). There's no harm in taking something with you and asking if they need anything for a break when you take him tomorrow.

I hope he does well, good luck

Most of the schools offer a drink and a biscuit in between exams - at least at one break. One school gave doughnuts (Latymer - very popular because of this) and one Kit-Kats. Can't remember offhand what SPS gave but something to satisfy small boys.

I hope it went well today

doughnuts hey!

He enjoyed it I think (though he'd never admit it) - they were given a Very Large packet of crisps (sadly ready salted only, but he managed) and orange juice and then later on someone handed out mini packs of custard creams 'but you didn't have to have one'! Love it.

That's really good. Ds has an entrance exam on Wednesday for a school in the next city (it's not far and there's a school bus), he's ahead academically so I shouldn't worry but I am, we applied last year, he did really well in the exam but the reference from his school was dire (protrayed him as a severly aspergic child, swearing and no social skills at all etc( not quite the child I have )), he's been at a different school since September and he's behaving well, strange how all his 'problems' have suddenly vanished, I'm still on edge over it though.

Oops, sorry, didn't realise I'd posted too late. Hope it went well.

So, did anyone get the phone call today?

Willow - DS2 did - we have played it down tho' - (had a horrendously busy day yesterday for various work reasons) and so just told him matter of factly in passing bedfore he went off to watch Chelsea trounce beat Arsenal 2-0 . Don't want to get his hopes up.
