This is could be interesting. I wonder how many haven’t got this sussed out. It’s not something I have looked at. Slough admissions confuses me a little at the best of times.
I agree, each school is sooooo different and they seem to change every year!
After reading that link I am lost! I have searched the web but I can't find any other info.
Maybe parents who have a DC taking the exam on the 14th can enlighten us as to what their exam registration info said!
I honestly can't see how that system could work! surely you could end up 3000+ of the 4000 (very ish!) taking the exam at just 1 of the 4 schools and the same applying to that school, seriously upsetting the balance.
I have to be reading this wrongly!
I think I may be reading the info on the above link (from elevenplusexams website) wrongly? As the info on The Slough Consortium website contradicts it! maybe where it says you must register with each school, it means certain schools such as Reading/Kendrick/Woodford etc but does not include the Slough Consortium, where you would register once for all 4?
The info from the Slough Consortium makes more sense, which is no different to previous years "The next step is for your child to actually sit the 11+ entrance examination. Testing will take place on Saturday 14 September 2019 for all candidates irrespective of their home address or current primary school. There will be four examination centres in Slough and your child will be allocated a centre on the basis of their primary school and postcode. You will be advised of your test centre and test arrangements by email before the end of the summer term, using the email address you have provided on the registration form"
Think I need to let his lie now and get a nice strong coffee
