Selection review advise
Posted: Mon Oct 15, 2018 4:12 pm
We opened our daughters results on Friday and she scored 115. We were gutted for her as she was so close and wasn't heavily tutored as all the others that passed in her year. She had 4 sessions with an 11+ tutor and we did some prep over the summer holiday. In May this year for the first time she sat a violin exam and her anxiety was shocking. We then spoke to her head teacher and she noted this down. The night before the mock exam her anxiety was awful again, she was crying totally beside herself. Pretty much the same the night before and the morning of the real thing.
So my questions are these
1) We will 100% get Tring School as she has an older sibling that attends. If we go to selective review and don’t win will this loose her place at Tring School?
2) What order do we put down schools? Tring then grammar or the other way around?
3) The main reason for selective review is her exam anxiety. she has no signs of this within her day to day life or in school at all. Or even when she has assessments within the class. She has always been in top sets and in her KS1 she gained 3
Do you think we have a chance at all?
Thanks so much for any help or advise
