SVK that’s interesting to know. Any idea on the number of candidates taking the exam last year in comparison to previous years?
I am fairly confident that fewer BCS children sat the 11+ in 2018 as their parents’ preference was indie secondary. Not sure why that has changed but I don’t think it is directly related to the new head. I’m not sure that many who did sit, did not ‘make the grade’ as such and plenty who did achieve CH or FW scores elected to go to KES/KEHS ... the school had a record number of scholarships to both these, and other, schools this year. Not sure if this is the information you are after? The school does cover some 11+ work but the majority of pupils will also have extra coaching from y3/4 if they are aiming for a grammar place.
