My DS is sitting for the 7+ exams this year and January 2022. We already have an interview call for city boys. Still waiting to hear Highgate. Any other parents here prepping for 7+ in these school?

Any idea the level for assessment for Latymer? And the intake for boys? We can’t seem to find a lot of information. The sample papers don’t seem particularly hard.

@Surfermum40
I asked someone who's DD is going to Latymer this year and she said that the actual exam was like the sample papers.

This is hearsay - but it seems that they are looking for a spike in an area. There's a lot of emphasis on interview process as well it seems

Not yet. Is it meant to be via email before Christmas?

I got the impression it is via email but I didn’t ask directly. Very much hope before Christmas. Stressful! Good luck.

Yes. They haven’t given any indication on when to expect the interview offers either.

I can’t handle this waiting. Anyone know the timing for Highgate today?

kallmanskate · 28/01/2022 09:19

Also, any numbers for Highgate are appreciated (x took exam, x to interview, x offers, places). Not that it matters now!

No idea on numbers. There are 70 places to be equally split between boys and girls. Probably 150 called for interview?
