DS is in year 1 and just thinking about whether he should sit the entrance exam to our local fee-paying school who offer 2 scholarships to g and t a year.Has anyone done it - what is the test? I'm averse to tutoring but wonder what things they ask, is it a daunting experience, any tips, advice etc. Seems tests are held in january, so we'd have a year to cnsider whether to apply, so early days.....

The school will give you info on what is in the test. Having looked at one recently the maths didn't seem much different to KS1 SAT expectations, reading has to be above chronological age but it didn't say by how much & they have an individual chat with the head.

Open days are being held now so have a visit. It doesn't bind you to anything. Nowhere round here offers scholarships before age11 as far as I can work out.
