We haven't heard from them yet, either for a regular interview or a scholarship one. As far as I can tell from their literature, they don't do any additional scholarhsip assessments - just an interview like anyone else. This seems unlikely, though - does anyone know more?

If it was like anything like when I did my interviews 10 years ago :lol: the Scholarship candidates would interview with the headteacher, and everyone else normal senior staff.

I called Bancrofts on Friday and they will be sending out interview letters on Monday for scholarship and fee paying. So if you do not receive a interview letter, safe to say no place.

What's the process for Chigwell and scholarship interviews?

How did the exam go? My sister said it wasn't too hard - the Verbal being quite easy.

Chigwell have scholarship assessments on Wed 9th and Thurs 10th February, so I imagine it will be along the lines of the Forest ones. I presume they will phone scholarship candidate later this week or early next week.

Your sister? I had assumed until now that you were posting about your daughter.

Well yes, it would! I thought before that you were having a little joke about your age.
