11 plus support thread for exams 2024

[ElvenDreamer]

Hi all,
Anyone fancy joining me for for an 11 plus support thread for those yr 5s who are probably just starting a bit of prep now ready to sit exams in September 2024?

State grammar is the angle I'm personally coming from but all welcome no matter if you're applying to private selective, state aptitude tests etc.

This will be my 3rd and final time of going through this and I've found support threads here really useful the previous times.

That’s fabulous news!

Congrats @slaybell I 'think' this is for UGS? If so, it's a small world and my DS should also be going there next year! 🎉

Yes UGS @yoshiblue 🙌

@slaybell brilliant news!

Just coming back to the thread to wish everyone good luck for Monday! I hope it's good news for all. I think there are quite a few in the group who will have had an anxious wait since results were out, so fingers crossed for you. We are lucky to be almost certain of getting the grammars for DD and DS, but will still feel a lot better once it's official.

Does anyone know what time the decisions will be released? Thanks

@MrsDexter it varies by LA. Some release the offers at/from midnight, and others at the start of the working day. Often they are released in batches throughout the day.

I do remember that our primary class WhatsApp group was going mad with people commenting on their offers, and I was still waiting. Ours came through an hour later.

Sometimes, it is possible to find out via the online account before you get the email.

If you mention which LA you are in, someone in that LA with an older child may comment to let you know when they received their offer.

Thank you. It's Bexley. I have a feeling it's 5pm when they close lol

On Applicaa for DS it is saying "Offer status - Offer Made", although I know it's not official until we get the offer from the council!

Does it mean you found the result in your login account tonight already?

@Clean68 it's a portal used by the grammar schools here, which is separate to the local authority portal.

Lovely to see some activity on this thread again - hope you’re all doing well and fingers crossed for lots of good news on Monday!!

We’re in the fortunate position that we know from DD’s 11+ score that she’ll be offered a place at her preferred school - but that doesn’t mean that the date of 3rd March isn’t burned into my brain!! That’s interesting to hear about maybe being able to login, I was thinking I’d have to wait for an email but wasn’t sure what time that would come.

Sending lots of good luck wishes to those of you for whom this is an anxious wait - not long now and let’s see if we can all cross our fingers together and make the wait a bit more bearable!!

Nothing here! Trafford

Nothing showing for DD either!

Nor us on aplicaa, also Trafford.
roll on Monday!

Trafford outcomes by 11am Monday according to the admissions page on Trafford gov.

We are on the wait for Monday - it's quite likely we will get our first choice but no guarantees... Good luck everyone!

Anyone have past experience of whether Kent really does wait until 4pm, or whether the emails actually come earlier than that? They said 4pm for the 11+ results too, but they actually started coming in from the morning.

we are waiting for monday as well, anyone else waiting for essex allocations?

Apparently some Essex applicants can see an offer made against their 1st preference. Worth checking this morning if you have not already.

We got ours just before 6pm!

we are ooc, so can not access what you can right? but can you give heads up how the trend is compared to previous years?

our local citizen info portal hasn't updated any :)

We got our place at first choice school - everyone else still in bed and I needed to tell someone!

Good luck everyone :)
