Advice on assesments for reception at Northbridge house/Lyndhurst etc?

[crouchender]

Just starting the rounds of interviews and assessments for the independent north london primary schools for my 2 yr old. Daunted by the whole thing (did not grow up in London!)Can anyone give me any tips? Are we being asessed as well as the kids? Guidance greatfully received.

hey- not sure you still read this but i went to NB with dd last week. she played in a corner while i talked with the headmistress. i am fairly sure they just want to check the children don't have any obvious SN, and the parents are middle class etc. but tbh, i doubt they are that oversubscribed as they take about 90 children each year!
