King's College Wimbledon

Post by oak »

My DS sat this exam on Saturday. I was wondering if anyone knows when they are likely to start interviewing?

No idea, but also dying to know. I presume they'd start calling for scholarship exams any day now... Anyone heard yet? Do you know how many 11+ boys were there, oak?

There are no scholarship exams, just a second interview. Still waiting to hear something. There were around 200 who sat for the 16 places, but I think they interview around 50 boys. Has anyone else heard anything yet??

you are right, meant scholarship interviews... so around 1 in 4 chance of getting an interview :| won't hold my breath, I guess. DS can perform exceptionally and then the next day shock me with a piece that is so sloppy, it's unbelievable. Hope he had one of his good days. How did your DS feel? Mine just talks in monosyllables when I try to find out anything... Everything these days is "Fine"

Just 16 places at Kings? I had no idea it was such a small intake.

There are only 16 places because their big intake is at 13, so really you are joining the Junior School at 11. My ds said that the maths was okay but the english was challenging..hope not too challenging!

I assume that if we have not been called for an interview by now, it must be a no. Can anyone confirm if KCS send a letter to those who do not make it to the interview stage?
