Re: 12+ in bucks
Do the schools that set their own 12+ ever reveal the format the tests will take, other than "maths, English, science"? How many schools are still under the bcc umbrella for 12+ testing? Presumably those that set their own tests can change it right up to the day of the test if they desire?
Just wondering, as ds may be going down the 12+ route next year.

Have checked the BCC website - it will be the CEM test for Burnham, Beaconsfield High, Sir Henry Floyd and Royal Latin, not just for 12+ but also for the 13+. The other Bucks grammar schools each have their own procedures.

Gutted! We were expecting 12+ results today in the post and they have not arrived. Anyone else got theirs for the schools being administered by BCC?
Re: 12+ in bucks
Finally! after the disappointment of last year, my DD made across the line this year...only the first hurdle though. Yet to see if this transforms into a allocation of a place. All the best to the rest who are waiting.

Re: 12+ in bucks
I left work at lunch to work from home so I could get post! So pessimistic after all the trials of last year.
And yeahhhh my daughter also passed. Such a relief. And agreed that the next hurdle is seeing if there is a place.
Its a long time to wait.
Good luck to all

Hi all
Been a while since I've been on here Dd also passed 12 plus for SHFG. We also know of one of her friends who did (same score!). Proud of her as we purposely did no prep at all. Not sure if there are many/any places at SHFG though? Just have to wait and see I suppose.
Keep up the good work Sally-Anne and Etienne

I believe there are places at the Floyd but not as many as usual.
Well done to all 12+ qualifiers - don't worry about not coping in Year 8 - they'll be fine.

Re: 12+ in bucks
Congratulations to all who have been successful, and I do hope that the schools deliver places.
I'm especially delighted for you, buzzybee. It was a long and painful journey for you back in 2012/13, but justice has now been done.
I couldn't be happier for you and your DD.
