How did everyone kids think the exams went today... Mine thought some of the biology was tricky... English ok... Not sure on History

It is 13+ I am also talking about!
DS is not in a prep school so I am due to be told tomorrow. A bit annoying but his current private school is not that organised with an aim of delivering the results in the same manner as the other schools.

I'm being thick here - aren't all privates preps? I'd be pissed off with the school for not getting the results out faster. Good luck for tomorrow.

Originalbiglymavis. - I think the person's son is currently attending a private secondary school with pupils age 11- 18 but intends to leave to go to Eton., As I understand it all prep schools go up to age 13 and their whole reason to exist is to prepare children for Independent secondary school or as we used to call them Public Schools.

Ah that explains it. Some preps just go through to 11 though.

Yes I agree some preps only go up to 11. I think it tends to depend on the local normal transfer age. I live in an area with a number of Grammar schools as well as independents. A number of the preps only go to 11 because that is the age a lot of children transfer to senior day schools. Obviously there are some preps that go to 13 as there are a number of Independents that have an entry at that age.

All good - he got in !!!! Yay!

Congratulations to your DS lulia. Which house is he going into?
