And I assume there will be a 2015 13 plus intake. The last 13 plus intake. Does every where out there think this is right? I am so disappointed this is not happening 2013

Sad for those of us entering 2013 as means those younger will be installed first and therefore more confident in surroundings and sadly I suspect educational concentration will be on the year below - they will need them to achieve highly!
it is not yet confirmation (but it's a matter of time) more like information about their intensions. Formal application hasn't been made yet.

So why does NKM's letter confirm admissions from age 11 in 2013?

Selfishly I wanted it to stay as it was as it would have given a "second bite" of the cherry at 13. I need to go and look at it sooner than I thought ...........

Because that was the information I had! - word of mouth only! So am sure that it is at the moment for information only. Ignore the word confirmed!

There is an explanation of this on 'he who must not be named's website.

Yes, they have confirmed that they will take new Year 7s and boarders at year 9.

I think it is not clear if they are going to keep intake at 13 :0( This is on the web site
"The Governors of Cranbrook School are considering the possibility of a move to admitting local day students at age 11 rather than the current age of 13."
The word "rather" looks like they will be only admitting from 11+?

I am a parent at Cranbrook and the letter we have received says entry at Year 7 for day pupils and at year 9 for boarders.

Here's part of the letter.
Bear in mind that it is at consultation stage at the moment and the letter is on behalf of the governors of Cranbrook School.

'They would look to accept their first intake in 2014 in to Year 7 whilst also taking in at Year 9. The following year would see the same pattern.

Following that, the main day intake would only be at Year 7 but with the boarding intake remaining at Year 9. There is comparatively little demand for boarding for younger students and our boarding houses are not well adapted to their needs.'
