Still here....just moved up one stage from Verbal Reasoning practice to spending some time wondering what the actual letter we recieve on the 25th will state.
Does anyone know whether the letter breaks the standardised score per paper i.e Paper A 116 Paper B 121 (hopefully)
Is that it? or does the letter go onto state anything further?

The scores are given for each paper. They are shown very clearly around two-thirds of the way down the page.
All the rest is a standard letter saying that either your child has been deemed suitable for a GS education, or that an Upper School will be more appropriate "at this time", or words to that effect. There are no enclosures with the letter, and appeal packs have to be obtained from the school the following week, so you can't tell anything from the size or thickness of the envelope.

Does anyone know if years ago the envelopes were different sizes (due to the appeal papers) or is that just one of those stories?
In answer to the original question: attending Snowdrops' virtual hen night and recovering (from the 11plus, that is
)

Definitely not since 2004, and I am fairly sure that it has never been the case. It would just be too obvious who had qualified and who hadn't.
