Hello
I'm starting a new thread for those with children who are sitting for the 10+ Trinity and Whitgift exams this year.

Keen not be in this journey alone and hopefully share in the experience with others.

I have reread the email. The Whitgift email says “Interview invitations will start to be emailed in batches from Friday 10 January.” So this means not everyone might hear at the same time and maybe they tell some people next week. (also from previous years' threads in MumsNet) If rejections, "Boys who have not been selected for an interview will be advised by email as soon as possible.." If anyone hears anything, please post it here. These waits are nerve-wracking. Good luck everyone!!

The wait is really tough! Every time my phone buzzes or I see a notification on here my heart goes… Hopefully not too long to go. Good luck!

We received ours on the 8th Jan. Check your spam just in case. If it’s still not there, then it might be worth calling the admissions team.

Yes we are so pleased. Anyone waiting for the possible invitations to scholarships?

user2468love · 10/01/2025 15:26

Sorry I didn't read the last line. Out next week

Audley28 · 10/01/2025 18:40

We got it too! Phew! Scholarship email next week, yes.
Hope everyone in this thread gets it and then we all have a group already (if preferred choice)!
Have a great weekend and enjoy this first achievement!

@modernmum23 Same really. Scores seem inconsistent, so I’m curious to find out if others are experiencing the same - which it sounds like you are. I have also noticed that he finds atom slightly easier than some of the paper based tests.

I know it’s difficult to say, but do you have any idea what the pass mark is likely to be? Also, at what point do they consider a candidate for an academic scholarship? I’ve heard that it’s roughly the 80% mark and then interview dependent, but I haven’t been able to verify that anywhere.

Did you find out what the pass mark is for academic scholarship? I assume boys would be invited to an academic scholarship interview today? Is that how it works?

HopefulDad19 · 10/01/2025 19:56

I haven’t heard anything about the academic scholarship unfortunately, so no idea on the threshold they are using this year. Does anyone else know more about this?

Wisemum19 · 10/01/2025 21:30

Hi trinity results out

Wisemum19 · 10/01/2025 21:31

Sony27 · 11/01/2025 10:11

Morning and congratulations for all who passed

thank you 🙏

Justamum157 · 12/01/2025 10:09

For the Whitgift 11+ academic scholarship, is it assessed in the interview, or is there a separate invitation to another assessment day?

WisedUpMumOfTwo · 12/01/2025 12:33

Trinity sent out interview invite mid last week .. son has his next week.
Anyone with experience to suggest what to expect?

Wisemum19 · 12/01/2025 13:38

WisedUpMumOfTwo is it for 10 plus? , we didn't hear any interview dates for 11
+, also anyone has any idea as to what to expect please?

I’d also like to know this, as I’m not quite sure. I’ve heard from others that they assess within the interview, but there is a bit of a clue with who’s interviewing you (especially if they are in the executive leadership team). I’m not sure how reliable this is by the way…

WisedUpMumOfTwo · 12/01/2025 16:45

Yes. This is for 11+. We have been called for interview on Tuesday morning, and a chat with the headmaster.
