I've just noticed that the exam for KES & Solihull school are on the same day for 2014 entry. Has this happened before?? I'd like DS to sit both!

I expect quite a few kids will sit both. Have you asked the schools if they have an alternate sitting date ?

No! But will Solihull take a dim view if I ask for an alternative date/put KES first!

Am sure both schools will be well aware of the fact that a great many kids take both exams - you only have to look at the results published by prep schools to see how many get offered a place at both and we have many on the forum who took both.

You can ask the schools what they are doing about clashes and mention what the clash is, needn't say who you are!

Panic over! The insert in the prospectus is wrong. On the website the date is 18th!

What a relief - definitely would have caused a lot of people problems.
