Bring a watch as not all the classrooms have clocks.

The fresh news from couple of days ago. Latymer did not allow kids to have watches during the tests..

Where was your child? I sent a watch in with my child, I'll have to ask him whether he was allowed to use it .

Presumably they had clocks in the room then. Or at least I sincerely hope so! Tiffin do allow watches (silent ones) and I'm told that some of Tiffin Boys' classrooms don't have clocks.

Heard it from my friend. There was no watch in the classroom. Kids were being told every now and then how much time was left.

My son took a watch in, I presume he used it, he didn't say otherwise. However he did say he found the microphones being used to say how much time was left, quite disturbing.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread but Local Tutor, are you a Tiffin tutor? If so we could do with your input in the Kingston section of the forum! Will post something to you there
Thanks
