Putney High 11+ - new format?

[curiousllama]

Hi,

Does anyone have any information on what Putney High will be using this year for the 11+?
The website says:

"11+ Entrance Exam
Bespoke online assessment in Maths and English. All applicants will be invited into Putney High School to sit this approximately 1-hour exam on either a computer or an iPad."
Is the correct thing to infer that English will be multiple choice with no creative writing element at Stage 1? And are they still going to be using the pre-tests? Just wondering whether these tests will be administered by a certain well known supplier.

Then it states that there is some Stage 2 Athena Assessment, first time I've heard of this. Sounds rather nebulous - also would appreciate any colour on this!

"Athena Assessment
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a second and final assessment, including a one-to-one interview."

Bump

I don’t know about this year, but my dd did it last year. First stage was very similar to Atom, second stage was group work and producing a storyboard on a topic of their choice.

@HighRopes hey, would you mind telling me when you received the invite for the second round? was it early December?

Thanks a lot

7th January.

Dear mums,
Can anyone enlighten me on what to expect for occasional places in Year 6 ? The email states online Maths, English and reasoning. Would it be :

• similar Atom Learning

or

• CAT test

?

Million thanks!!

My dd is appearing for the Athens stage 2 at putney high this week. What is expected in their stage 2? They say a group activity followed by creative response and an interview. What kind of group activity is expected and what's the creative response? Also how long is the interview generally? Any insights would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

My dd is also giving putney second stage this week. Would appreciate if anyone who has been through could suggest what to expect. Thanks

Does anyone know what is the second assessment about?

"Athena Assessment
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a second and final assessment, including a one-to-one interview."

They also mentioned that it will be:

a group activity
a creative task
a one-to-one interview.

Does anyone have more specific details of what each of the above is?

Anyone that did it last year?

Thanks 😊

@HighRopes

Hi

Does your daughter remember what she was asked to do at the group activity?

And what do you mean by "storyboard "?
Is it standard creative writing, where they give you a title and you need to write a story?
Or what does it involve?

Thanks

My dd did it last year they were ask to do a poster with a quite generic subject.i think they had to plan an event , who will be performing what will be the food etc. Interview consisted in presenting the poster and the reason you chose that plus some generic questions. It was all very fun! So no pressure

@Lolakath19
Thank you so much 😊

@pinkgaia My dd said it was a poster, and it was fun, and that’s all she can remember from two years ago, sorry!

@HighRopes thank you! Much appreciated 😊

Thank you this is helpful - my DD also doing Athena Assessment on 17th.

Does anyone have info/insights re what happens at the Francis Holland (SS) interview process? Also a 2hr affair with a group session / creative challenge / interview.

Also for PHS and FHSS - does anyone know what % of the interviewees get an offer?

thanks so much

Hello! Assuming you have now (successfully!!) got through the 11+ process, do you have any insights you could share on how your daughter got on in applying for PHS and FHSS - my daughter is in year 6 and we are applying for both schools. Thanks!!!
