Hi Tami

Are these for entry in year 7? Hmm, thought they are on Wed and Thursday.

We were contacted last week to arrange an interview for our son on Wednesday. They seem to have put an interesting day together and hopefully he will enjoy it. He had his Forest scholarship interview yesterday and they were very well looked after. Now it's wait and see I suppose.

Does anyone know if Chigwell are doing fee paying scholarship interviews over 2 days or just one. They interviewed around 40 children yesterday, but I do not know how many scholarships they have to offer. The website seems to suggest 2 days of interviews which means interviews for around 80 children ?

They are interviewing over two days, as I know of some who are going there today. However, I think they are only interviewing about 40 in total - I thought that yesterday they had 7 groups of 3 children.

I think that must be right - I can't imagine them interviewing so many. I was repeating something one of the other parents said, but my son was there yesterday and following your message am now pretty convinced that they didn't have that many children there. Thanks.
