We've had invitations to three interviews so far! One is done, two to go. Plus a few music auditions. I have told DS he should already be so happy and proud, whatever the outcome to all this is...

w14 mum, which school is that? We didn't get an email. Anyone's DD taking the North London Consortium 1 exam on Friday?

CoL girls. We have had two invites from schools that interview all (I think), one of which took place before the exams.

We've not had a thing. Interviews are part of the exam process for two out of three of the schools we are trying for, but nothing from Hampton so far. And no recall to RGS. (Which may be a good thing.)

Hi vnmomma, yes my dd is doing consortium 1 on Friday. Shhs head has resigned, received a letter about it today which passed on the sobering news that they have record number of applicants. Very comforting! I wonder if this is true across all consortium schools? Anyone heard anything?
W14mum - dd applied to city too, quite a good idea to say when they will be emailing about interviews, at least they won't be inundated with anxious parents ringing up!

LEH emailed yesterday re DD music scholarship interview and got a letter this morning about the normal interview. Exam was only last Wednesday so hadn't expected to hear so soon!

Re SHHS ... not sure how valid but very plugged in friend says that lot of relief that she is leaving - have lost a lot of teachers recently, etc... so seen as a positive!

loveyouradvice, interesting. Any colours on why the HM has been viewed negatively? We went to the Open House and were pretty impressed by her. She has been there for 8 years so I thought that would have been a good sign, no? Thanks.
