Do you know if it is true that they may bring it forward? I know that there was talk in that happening in Bucks bit it isn't now. My sister thinks it may happen in Slough.

Catherine, posted a URL earlier, re SG considering bringing the test forward to September.

Catherine's earlier post
Here is an extract from a decision by the schools adjudicator in answer to an objection to new admission arrangements by Slough LEA.
The Authority objected to criterion 3 of the determined arrangements, which says; “Where possible, the test will be taken in the Slough Primary Schools at the end of September.â€

Surely they should change the Admissions timetable, by a couple of weeks, to allow for testing in late Oct or Nov? Schools should be able to turn results around in 7days, shouldn't they?Robert Straker (National Union of Headteachers) wrote:"If testing takes place in September the potential for stress is enormous. Parents of July and August born children will be making decisions about their child aged 11 whilst they are still nine years old."
