Anybody taking the 7+ exam this year? I have noticed there isn't a thread on it this year. We are going to be trying for St Paul's and Kings. At the moment we are really struggling with the comprehension. Anybody else in the same boat?

Yes tomorrow - both 7+ and 8+.... fingers crossed....

@Jesse21plus we had the absolute same impression

Has anyone had their final decision today??

SoNervousForHim · 21/01/2022 11:44

@anotherusernameugh I would say 4+ is a world apart from 7+!

We haven't heard from WUS yet.

Did call SPJ about waitlist position and they mentioned that we've moved up in the waiting list

muminwood · 21/01/2022 12:18

@puzzledmom I’m sure the waitlist for SPJ will move quicker from next week on. Did they tell you what no on the waitlist you are.

WUS said they’d revert end of day Friday so I guess could be similar to last time between 4-5pm? Unless they’ve mentioned otherwise after.

puzzledmom · 21/01/2022 12:39

@muminwood we're no. 3 now. Yes the registrar did say that things will move once WUS result is out.

Having said that, someone on this thread mentioned that they over-offered quite a bit ... let's see; fingers crossed!

muminwood · 21/01/2022 12:47

SPJ is known to send waitlist offers as late as May sometimes. Inspite of over offers, you still have a good chance I would say.

Jesse21plus · 21/01/2022 13:32

@SoNervousForHim great to know I was not alone to have such impression. To be honest, really not sure the purpose of the parents interview …

2minutesplease · 21/01/2022 13:53

@puzzledmom, I know a few families who are still deciding re: Kings vs St Paul’s. One family is about to drop SPJ offer so I hope you’ll get a place!

Parent123456 · 21/01/2022 14:13

@puzzledmom might be because of the hammersmith bridge situation thus making it less attracting plus similar results to Kings.
Good luck! think you are waiting for WUS results as well anyway :)

londonswmum · 21/01/2022 14:19

Last year, WUS offers were received on the Friday just before 3pm. Those who were not given a place received the email later in the day.
Fingers crossed and good luck everyone :)

Curiousma · 21/01/2022 14:58

We got in. I can’t be happier than this .

2minutesplease · 21/01/2022 14:59

@Curiousma, congratulations to you and your very bright DS!!! Well done! Will you accept WUS?

Curiousma · 21/01/2022 15:03

@2minutesplease Thank you very much. Yes we are thinking to accept it. Probably on Monday we will be dropping our Kings and St. Paul’s offers.
Good luck to everyone

muminwood · 21/01/2022 15:06

No email received yet. Its probably a no for us.
Congratulations @curiousma! Very well done to both you and your DS.

Mom123456 · 21/01/2022 15:09

We heard from WUS and received an offer. Good luck all!

Jesse21plus · 21/01/2022 15:13

Yeah! We got the email! Will be a busy weekend to decide

londonswmum · 21/01/2022 15:21

We got in as well. We might be accepting as well!

SoNervousForHim · 21/01/2022 16:09

We got an offer too! Could not be happier!! Look forward to seeing some of you mums on here at drop off in September! Smile

londonswmum · 21/01/2022 16:25

Well done @SoNervousForHim was it your first choice? And do you have any other offer?

Shehr · 21/01/2022 16:33

We are in too :)

Congratulations everyone!!

Well done @Shehr! Will you be accepting as well?
I think we will take the weekend to make a decision, although based on discussion with DH yesterday we will probably go with WUS.

Shehr · 21/01/2022 17:05

@londonswmum it's a difficult decision for sure but we are leaning more towards SPJ for now :)

OP posts:
SoNervousForHim · 21/01/2022 17:10

@londonswmum yes it’s our first choice and we’ll be giving up our other offer!

Bellaumbrealla · 21/01/2022 17:21

Does Westminster also have waiting list?
