10+ entrance for secondary education Sep 2025

[Parent2024]

Hello
wanted to get a thread going for entrance in secondary school for 10+ in Sep 2025. Key questions to know more about include : preparation, mock tests and reading habits, past successful preparation etc.… happy to include other topics. Target schools - Whitgift, Trinity, City Of London and Emanuel.

@Tolibot25 yes that’s the one my son had too! Random.

We have just received an email from Trinity school offering my son a place!

This was for 10+ entrance.
Good luck to all those that are waiting...

We got in with art scholarship for 10+. Very chuffed and proud. All the best for everyone waiting

Well done everyone!
We also have a 10+ offer from Trinity! Super proud mum here ❤️

Awww well done 🙌🏽 🥳 our son got offered a sports scholarship! Well done to all the boys!! Acceptance or not!!

how much scholarship was awarded for sports and art?

Good morning and congratulations 🥳
any news/emails from W please?
thank you

not at the moment - i think they usually email in batches

Same here, email came before 8am. DS is offered a place at Trinity for 10+. Good luck for everyone waiting.

Well done to all the boys!
Our son has also received an 10+ offer at Trinity, so glad they sent out the emails early!

Best of luck to those waiting to hear back

Just heard from Whitgift - we received an offer for 10+

Hi, We've been offered a scholarship for Whitgift. Does Trinity offer more than Whitgift? How much are academic, sports, and music scholarships worth? Has anyone received both academic and music or sports scholarships worth more than 15%? Thank you.

We got a sports scholarship worth 20%

@Doorframe2024 Thank you so much!

I invite some thoughts from this group - our DS has fortunately got in City of London School / Trinity (Art Scholarship) / Whitgift - all 10+. Purely from a school standpoint, are there any suggestions on how to choose amongst the above? Thanks in advance

Congratulations 🎊 if I were you I'd go with the trinity with the scholarship. All 3 schools sounds similar according what I've heard. So Trinity would be what I would choose

Congrats to your son on his achievements! All fantastic schools. Something to consider I suggest, is travel. My son spent years travelling quite far and although he never really complained and sort of got use to it, he was exhausted! I wish we had done things differently in hindsight. It may or may not be a factor for you, but this is what I would recommend.

I am looking for an advice and guidance regarding my son's offer to City of London School (CLS) for Year 7. As a new parent to the school community, I am hoping to connect with other CLS parents who can provide insights and support during this transition.
I would greatly appreciate information about any parent groups, forums, or networks where I might obtain valuable advice about the school. Currently, I do not know any CLS parents personally and would welcome the opportunity to learn more about the school experience from those with firsthand knowledge.
Could you kindly advise me on how I might find such a parent community or support group?
