I know it’s a little later than usual but here it is! #letsdothis

In previous years I have started these threads to help and support all those involved in the independent school admissions process.

I wasn't going to start one this year as I know I would not be able to check back on it as regularly as I would like, which then defeats the purpose of the thread.

However, after numerous positive PM's about the threads I think it would be a shame not to start one where at least the hand holding can continue. 🤝

There are many many people who have been through the process and 'live to tell the tale' . There are also other tutors I know who read this thread and it would be great if you all could help and support and share your ideas

@NameChangeDays i know for sure.UcS request the reports for all the kids invited to the second interview prior to the second interview

hopefulmum16 · 19/01/2023 19:22

Iwonder oh then thats a short turnaround as they gave results on 11th Jan (Wed) and 2nd round assessments started on 16th Jan

NameChangeDays · 19/01/2023 19:41

@Iwonder08 @hopefulmum16 Ah thank you that’s great to know. So Highgate don’t ask them for 4+? Ok.

hopefulmum16 · 19/01/2023 19:47

I specifically remember from open day that they said they dont and our nursery also said they haven’t been asked in the past but will confirm tomorrow

NameChangeDays · 20/01/2023 12:40

@hopefulmum16 thank you! That would be great to know from your nursery. Ours doesn’t really feed to any of these schools. So it’s a long shot!

NameChangeDays · 23/01/2023 18:42

Anyone know when the results are coming out for Highgate/ UCS 4+?

Lotterygame · 23/01/2023 20:10

We just received an email from Highgate that the result will be out at the end of the day on 27th, days earlier than they announced on the school website (30th).

hopefulmum16 · 24/01/2023 07:22

Yup, 27th Jan - gulp!

hopefulmum16 · 24/01/2023 07:23

Your username is funny Lotterygame - assuming you are referring to this 4+ assessment !

hopefulmum16 · 24/01/2023 07:24

Namechange UCS is on 31st Jan

NameChangeDays · 24/01/2023 07:54

Ah yes found the Highgate email in my junk mail! Eep. Countdown….

Lotterygame · 24/01/2023 10:30

@hopefulmum16 yes, paying £150 reg fees for lottery games lol

Does anyone know when will Habs boys result come out?

hopefulmum16 · 24/01/2023 12:54

Habs hadnt said anything anywhere on when they will come back! I will followup today !

4pluscraziness · 24/01/2023 13:46

If Habs boys is the same as the girls they have said Monday 31st!

4pluscraziness · 24/01/2023 13:47

*Monday 30th sorry typo!

hopefulmum16 · 26/01/2023 13:39

I am getting so stressed about Highgate results with Friday looming closer …! :/

NameChangeDays · 26/01/2023 14:36

@hopefulmum16 hand hold!! In the same boat here. Exhausting.

hopefulmum16 · 26/01/2023 15:28

Which other ones are you really hoping for ? We need either Highgate or UCS to work out 🤞

NameChangeDays · 26/01/2023 16:13

Keeping everything crossed for Highgate here. But it’s obviously a massive long shot, given that at 4+ it’s basically a lottery, and mostly about how they happen to come across in the time they’re in the assessment. Which for 3-4 year olds could mean basically anything!

4pluscraziness · 26/01/2023 19:58

Wishing you both the best of luck for tomorrow! We are waiting on Monday’s outcomes!

hopefulmum16 · 26/01/2023 20:18

Absolutely @NameChangeDays , with my little one it can go either way 😬 🤞 good luck !!

good luck to you too @4pluscraziness !!

Hopefully the kid’s hardwork (if they were aware that they were working hard lol) and our efforts as parents pay off !

flyingcutie · 27/01/2023 15:28

Anyone knows when will Highgate give out the offer today? It's nearly the end of the school time...

hopefulmum16 · 27/01/2023 16:18

Wondering the same ! Maybe right before 5pm.

Lotterygame · 27/01/2023 16:56

Highgate results are out!

hopefulmum16 · 27/01/2023 17:06

Did you get in Lotterygame?
