Trinity/Whitgift/Dulwich College 10+/11+ 2021

Hello,

as mentioned countless times, I found the previous years' threads very useful, so it is now time to start this year's.

DS sat the 11+ reasoning test at DC yesterday. He'll sit the morning slot at trinity and we are awaiting confirmation of assessment date from Whitgift.

DS is remarkably relaxed so far. I, on the other hand, am a little apprehensive about the next few weeks.

How are everyone else's DSs feeling before "the storm"?

You are right. But since the interviews start on the 10th, probably they will call the first batch of interviewees after the 1st.

Makes sense

PenguindreamsofDraco · 20/12/2021 13:55

Does anyone have any idea what weight Trinity places on ISEB? DS is through to interview with DC but much prefers T. I am just wondering whether call back for DC may be a good or indifferent sign for T!

Winifredgoose · 20/12/2021 21:16

Trinity don't use the ISEB, just their own exams?

TypsTrycks · 20/12/2021 23:29

Trinity 11+ doesn’t use ISEB scores. Trinity 13+ uses ISEB for the pre-test route along with the written exam scores.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/12/2021 09:33

Yep I meant pre testing for 13+. But they sit the same exam as the 11+ applicants.

KillingEvenings · 21/12/2021 10:51

ahh, okay. I wasn't expecting to hear back from DC or Trinity until January but perhaps for pretests it's a slightly different timescale.

Has anyone else heard about interviews from either?

LondonerByDay · 21/12/2021 12:15

We've heard from DC for 13+ interviews but no dates yet. Apparently Trinity has started calling people with 13+ interview confirmations, but we haven't heard yet. If you don't get a call from Trinity by January 10, that means a no I guess!

Ah really? Ouch. Long wait over Christmas!
LondonerByDay · 21/12/2021 12:25

Did you hear from any other 13+ schools @PenguindreamsofDraco?

PenguindreamsofDraco · 21/12/2021 12:29

DC and Wetherby, of the London schools. I know Charterhouse has sent its interview lists out but we haven't applied there.

Paribus · 23/12/2021 11:50

Does anyone know when we can expect to hear back from DC re 11+ interviews? Thanks!

Itsallpurple · 04/01/2022 11:41

Has anyone heard back yet from Trinity today for the 11+?

Sayithowitisbaby · 04/01/2022 12:26

Nope nothing yet but they did say in the email that notifications would be from next week.
Sweetnhappy1 · 04/01/2022 14:26

Does anyone know when we'll hear from Whitgift?

Itsallpurple · 04/01/2022 15:10

Thanks @Sayithowitisbaby. I think next week is when they send out the 'no emails'...

Sayithowitisbaby · 04/01/2022 15:31

@Sweetnhappy1

Does anyone know when we'll hear from Whitgift?
The email said from the end of this week.
MumJes · 04/01/2022 15:49

Hi can anyone shed some light on interview/ activity session at charterhouse. Will be helpful. Thanks in advance

KillingEvenings · 04/01/2022 16:51

MumJes, You might want to start a different thread for charterhouse as not sure many applying for 10+ and 11+ at the Dulwich/Croydon schools will have experience there.

Winifredgoose · 05/01/2022 18:19

Has anyone heard from any of the above today re interviews? If so, was it by email/phone/letter? Starting to feel pretty nervous.

W1980 · 05/01/2022 18:31

No nothing my end. Whitgift will be an email trinity will call, I have a feeling it’ll be next week before we start to hear anything.

silver12 · 05/01/2022 18:37

Nothing from Trinity

Winifredgoose · 05/01/2022 18:41

Thanks. Fingers crossed to other families.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 05/01/2022 18:54

Nothing from T either - although we're pre test rather than pure 11+. Nor have the far brighter kids at DS's school.

Winifredgoose · 05/01/2022 19:04

Oh good. Think it's feeling that no news is bad news.
