SW London boys, 11+ grammars and independents

Hello, I know there’s an excellent thread for the girls. Not sure if there’s one for the boys? Anyone want to come on board? I know we can’t divulge details of round two grammars since there will be late sitters, but was thinking more of a support thread. Any takers?

I bbq was wondering in what order they may send the letters..

Queenofhearts1 · 08/02/2021 15:52

@Iffiyas we received an email from Epsom a couple of hours ago. We were lucky to receive an offer for 2023 13+ entry. Very pleased!

Good luck to all those that are waiting this week!

Iffiyas · 08/02/2021 16:06

We got it too, with a scholarship! Very pleased.

Queenofhearts1 · 08/02/2021 17:03

@Iffiyas amazing! Well done to your DC 👏

unchienandalusia · 08/02/2021 17:36

Well done @Iffiyas that's great news.

nononsencemum · 08/02/2021 22:42

Got an Epsom 11+ offer with a scholarship too - really pleased! :-)

TotoroXX · 08/02/2021 23:16

Congratulations to those receiving offers, well done! For those with scholarship, do you mind sharing what is being offered?

Iffiyas · 09/02/2021 08:55

@totoroxx it’s exactly what it says on the website. There are 3 academic scholarships available and DS won one of them.

Hampton have said they are delivering results by email at some point on Friday. I hadn’t realised not sure if everyone else had - I had hoped it was all going to be over in one go when the post dropped. I hope Friday isn’t going to be too long a day on the refresh button!!

Esher2021 · 09/02/2021 13:07

Congratulations to everyone with offers and wait list places. Everyone else hang in there, and stay positive.

Queenofhearts1 · 10/02/2021 09:48

@Esher2021 I thought it would be post.. at least that's what it states on their website.

BookShark · 10/02/2021 12:15

Hampton was one of the areas mentioned as having postal issues a few weeks ago. I wonder if they've decided not to risk things being delayed/having to field loads of phone calls from people who haven't heard.

TadlowDogIncident · 11/02/2021 07:52

LU is posting today, emailing tomorrow. I hope I’ll get the email in the morning as our post never arrives till lunchtime! I’m really nervous on DS’s behalf (he doesn’t know the exact date results are due, just that we’ll get them in mid-Feb).

FlyingPandas · 11/02/2021 09:06

Interesting (and a relief) to hear that many schools are swapping to emails for confirmation of results! The post is so erratic around us at the moment.

As far as I know RGS are still just posting results, unless I’ve missed an email confirming otherwise.

Good luck to everyone for tomorrow!

Esher2021 · 11/02/2021 09:55

For us KCS and Hampton are email, RGS is post. Good luck for tomorrow to all, nervous and excited.

Queenofhearts1 · 11/02/2021 15:56

We got the Hampton email an hour ago. DS got a place for 13+ entry. We are so pleased!
Good luck to all.

NoToMisogyny · 11/02/2021 16:02

Congratulations! Was the 13plus due tomorrow or today?

Iffiyas · 11/02/2021 16:06

@Queenofhearts1 congratulations! I hope they email everyone today, the wait is really painful!

ElonanotAlone · 11/02/2021 16:14

13+ for Hampton were scheduled today... sigh just one more day..

Time feels like we are on slow-mo these past few days.. 😫

Esher2021 · 11/02/2021 16:56

That is brill @Queenofhearts1

FlyingPandas · 11/02/2021 20:02

Congratulations, @Queenofhearts1 - fab news!

GrammarHopeful · 11/02/2021 20:42

Good luck to all for tomorrow. Hope the postman / emails bring the good news!

Queenofhearts1 · 11/02/2021 21:11

Thank you to all the lovely people on this thread. Fingers crossed for you all!

BookShark · 11/02/2021 21:49

Echoing both the congratulations to Queenofhearts1 and also the good luck wishes for tomorrow. Hopefully the postmen are up nice and early and any emails come well before the 4pm deadline!

ElonanotAlone · 12/02/2021 09:08

Congratulations @Queenofhearts1 a wonderfully amazing result, you must be thrilled!
