Can anyone confirm/deny rumours that KGS is v difficult to get into these days for 10+ and 11+? Boy at DS's school failed to get in last year then got a Hampton scholarship but latter is more academic or so I thought?

When my DC's got their letters re the interview, I am sure they arrived on a Friday!

maybe they are doing all the 11+ first

Post just arrived! Have been invited to interview sometime over next 2 weeks. Good luck to you guys, hope the post brings good news.

Well done thanksalot! What a relief!! You can behave like a normal person for a couple of weeks now!

Now I'm really nervous and still have 2 1/2 hours to wait until our post arrives. Could you just tell me - was it a very thin envelope? (I seem to remember from my DS1 that good news was delivered with a complliment slip!)

Yes, it was a compliment slip! Fingers crossed for you.

stillfeel18inside · 18/01/2011 12:21

Sadly a "no" for us - bother. The thought of having to do the whole 11+ thing next year is the worst thing...

That's a real bummer, sf18. Sorry you didn't have better news.
