Whitgift and Trinity 11+ exams and Interviews

[mummax]

Hi all
I am new to this. I am loving this site.
Has anyone's DS taken an 11+ exam at Whitgift or Trinity this year. We have taken both and have an interview at Whitgift.
Any tips for a first timer.

i forgot to say they told everyone last year well done for being selected for assessment as they had 350 applicants for sports scholarship (across the 3 entrance ages) and of those only 150 were invited for assessment

Has anyone heard fromTrinity 10+ yet for a boy who is not applying for a scholarship?

My son's sports assessment is Thursday so they obviously run a few so I wouldn't be too despondent yet

Good luck to all the boys...Any news on the T interview dates yet??

Just out of interest MNetters, have any of your DSs done grammar school 11+ exams too? And if they are offered a place at a grammar school and either/or/both Whitgift and Trinity schools, which school place would you accept and why - just curious as DS has done grammar school exams but not for either of the above private schools....

Have you been on a tour of the schools?

DS2 passed the test for Wilsons but I would want him to go to Trinity or Whitgift.

Oh, because he will perform better in a smaller class and I think Trinity or Whitgift will have the time to change his energies better.

Thanks for feedback! Just interesting to hear what others have to say. And no, Ladymuck, we didn't do a tour of the schools - fraid to say it didn't really even cross our minds to consider private schools too....

@Margoswaltz- my DS sat 10+ at T and have not heard anything. Fingers crossed for us all.......

that makes me feel better if no-one has started hearing!!

Hi all, just heard Trinity have started phoning...interviews start next Tuesday so good luck to everyone :)

Bugger... I'm out!

@Soup...really? I thought you had an interview lined up??

Sorry Soup...just read Frankie's post and it all makes sense now...shows how razzled my head is at the moment!
@Margoswaltz re. 10+..heard from W today, interview this week.

We out to so just hope if T ring they will try our mobiles or atleast leave a message

Hi all, has anyone heard if rejection letters have gone out from W? I have heard nothing plus I have applied for sports scholarship and no news. losing hope as sports tests this week.

Maybe if u not heard by end nxt wk ring them, but if last yr is anything to go by some interviews took 3 weeks plus. Try not to worry :)

Heard from T this morning. Interview in a couple in weeks.

Grrrr - no phone message.

I am up at Trinity this evening and am considering attempting to hack into their computer systems :0

haha Soup look for us too if you do...we didn't get a call either...you DS1 is there isn't he? Do they give any extra points to being a sibling of a student???

well done Margos DS

I guess that depends on the quality of the original sibling...

@PoozieP..look back at morethanlikely's post on previous page which has comforting words!
@Margos DS..well done!

Wow, I can't believe it is two years since I went through this (ds now in Y8 at Trinity). Reading your posts brings it all back!!! I remember how horribly stressful it was.

Good luck to all of you - fingers crossed for interviews and lovely offers in the post come February!
