Sharing the journey

Hi all... what a nerve racking period this is...good luck to everyone!

On the topic of offer holder open days, Radnor said theirs is on 6 Feb and Claremont on 8 Feb.... so next Monday and Wednesday. How are we expected to organise ourselves if we don't even know about offers until potentially this friday?!

@Dallasdays I would have thought that, at least, they would give one week's notice (even that is not a lot, tbh).
So hopefully both arriving quite soon (fingers crossed for all awaiting).

@QuiteAJourney @VickiMent @LoveMyADHD

thank you! good news for us - a relief to know we have one in the bag.

sending good vibes to all waiting for news today/this week!

@momomamiko Wonderful news! Many congratulations!!

@momomamiko congratulations!! Must be such a relief!

Thanks @QuiteAJourney - let's hope we are put out of our misery soon! Well done @momomamiko !!

@momomamiko woooooohoooooooo well done!!!!

Thanks all for the warm messages! It feels the wait to Feb 10 is a tad easier now.

I know what you mean @momomamiko we got our first offer on Friday. Although not originally our first choice school, it helps to get one in the bag! And who knows, our 'not first choice school' might be the 'right choice school' for our child!

yes indeed, same for us and all cards on the table until d-day :) @EweCee

Belated congrats, @EweCee

Do we need a new thread soon!?!?

@trickleg you are right indeed!
I am watching carefully.
Always trying to strike a balance between maxing this one and not running out of space... 😌

Thankyou @QuiteAJourney !

@Trickleg on the contrary, thanks to you for also keeping an eye on it and, more generally, your contribution to the thread.

@EweCee and @momomamiko congratulations to your DC, must be a relief. You can breathe again, somewhat 😅

Congrats for the offers @momomamiko and @EweCee!!

Congratulations to all who've had offers!

Yes! Congratulations- keep them coming and so much luck all!

Continuation thread now opened

see you there!

Hi, a question: does anyone know at what time did the interviews started at GL and at what time they finished? Just to understand the numbers…

Re: Hampton 11+, interview/offer ratio? and offer/accept ratio guesstimates

The school booklets says they welcome around 160 students for Year 7. I'm not sure if this 160 is including 10+ and their feeder school?
Anyway, say they take 100 students from 11+ candidates.
I read they had 800+ candidates this year and 35% got interviewed. Means 280-300ish got interviewed.
Say, historically if their offer / accept ratio is 70%ish, then the school will likely make offers to 140-150 candidates.
Then is it fair to say, roughly half of the boys who were invited for the interview will likely get offers?

Also, if we assume there are “160” spots for 11+, then of 300 boys interviewed, 230 will get offers?

Any thoughts? Thanks!
