ity London for boys 10 plus 2022 admission1
Today 00:01 JJS1612

Our DS got an interview invitation last week and we are just wondering what’s the chance of security an offer? Interview will take place on 31st of Jan, not sure the numbers were invited back for interview, and how many paces they are offering for 10 plus?

Well done to your DS. Their website says they have 40-44 places at 10+ but does not say how many are interviewed for those places. Have you called the Admissions office to see if they would give you an idea?

Thank you @nestess, I didn’t want to just call and check as I worried they would just say no😂, anyway the wait is almost over, will wait until this Friday!

I think even if he doesn’t, it is a good sign that he’ll do well next year. So take it as a great positive, regardless of the outcome. Keep us posted!

DS also had an interview for 10+ and we are also anxiously waiting. Best of luck to everyone

@JJS1612 we are in the same boat anxiously waiting for the result. may I ask if your and @PeachesF's son said anything about the interview? my son said there were several general questions (himself, his school) and one easy puzzle. he expected it to be way more challenging. now trying to calm myself down that this was not because they wrote him off and the whole interview was a dream.

Our interview was an online one. My DS said there were some general questions but the questions they were asking as wasn't easy at all. There were 3 academic questions, involves a lot of analyzing and representing, it took him a lot of time to explain and get the results, second one was math according to DS and last one was reasoning, the first one was a memory test sort of thing. Not sure everyone gets the same questions though.

thank you so much for sharing. ours was also online. now I am panicking even more. my DS also remembered a memory question (after prompting so clearly poor memory). no maths and no reasoning, but one logical puzzle... they definitely tailor their interviews, but no idea what to make out of it. other than to panic even more. thank you so much for sharing, hope they send the results soon.

PeachesF · 08/02/2022 12:54

My DS also got a memory question and 2 logic and analysing question and he had to explain how he arrived at the answer.
He also got asked other usual interview questions. It was online and took about 30mins.

Not long to go now, he really wants City so I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed

3xMum3 · 08/02/2022 13:20

thank you so much for your responses. the best of luck to our kids!

Anyone received the email yet?

3xMum3 · 11/02/2022 09:50

nothing in the post. though they are quite bad with posting by the looks of it. our friend's offer came a week after the e-mail a few years back. i would not expect an e-mail before noon with all honesty...

PeachesF · 11/02/2022 10:09

Nothing here, still waiting. Goodluck to all our DS, they have done so well to get this far

Lucky2022 · 11/02/2022 10:23

@Lucky2022 yes we did.
Does your DS have a preference?

Lucky2022 · 11/02/2022 10:45

City, but he is on reserve list... Not sure if there is any point to wait...a little disappointed :(

CityMum2022 · 11/02/2022 11:01

We too have been kindly offered a place. Good luck to everyone else awaiting results Smile

@Lucky2022

City, but he is on reserve list... Not sure if there is any point to wait...a little disappointed :(
I really hope a place becomes available for him.
Lucky2022 · 11/02/2022 11:34

Thank you @PeachesF, he got offers from both T and W, so now no more debating about the long distance travelling..

3xMum3 · 11/02/2022 11:41

@Lucky2022 is it a much longer commute to city for your DS? so difficult to choose.

Lucky2022 · 11/02/2022 11:43

Yes @3xMum3 about 50 mins. Thought is very tough for a 9 yr old.
