Re: KEHS Interviews
Hi Wolves Mum.
Fair question, I suppose it sounds odd. I was being cautious as the local school in our catchment area is very poor and the last thing I wanted was to see was her allocated a place there with no options. She took the exam as a back up in case she doesn't get into Grammar School (SCGSG,) or first choice KEHS. She did get a very good score from the Bham consortium exam so should be OK for a Grammar school place but nothing will be confirmed until 1st March so I thought it best to have a back up. Although WGS is a an hour journey away on public transport (2 buses and a tram, which is not ideal) I would sooner have her do that journey each day than attend the local school, which is in special measures.

Re: KEHS Interviews
That makes sense. Because she is so academic WGS may not be the best option as it has mixed ability children and I know a few people who've taken their children out of the school. You must be so pleased she got a scholarship as I think they only offered 7 this year and I know one is kept for the Grammar Junior School!
Fingers crossed you get an offer best suited to DD.
