St. Paul's Girls' School - interviews

Post by London Supermum »

Does anybody know how many girls have been invited to the interviews next week? WHat is the format of the interview - is it fairly general or do they ask very tricky questions? Can anybody tell me what their daughters were asked?

I don't think anyone knows how many are invited or what they will be asked - it is all new this year.

Don't know if it is true but have been told that they are interviewing half.

My daughter had the interview. It had fairly standard questions - the sort that you might expect from the Falcon school website. Some of the other girls from her school had harder questions including what certain words meant. As for what fraction of girls are interviewed, from her school it was exactly half of a clever group.

I think the earlier post about half the girls being invited for interviews is right. 4 out of 7 (clever) girls from my daughter's school had interviews. Assuming half is correct, for me the big question is - how many applied to St. Paul's Girls this year? I have heard a real range of numbers from 400 to 1000! Has anybody else heard?

Very bored today so I called - but they do not give out that sort of information!

Did anyone mistakenly get an email from SPGS about NQT training?
