Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
Well you wouldn't be able to hear what anybody was saying and "ignorance is bliss" in my book - tutu and 11+ results

Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
I am in complete agreement. Ignorance is bliss. I had the most dreadful time 2 years ago when dd told me her books had been collected in. I am deliberately avoiding all such conversation with ds but still wondering if they will ask for last year's books. On the the plus side work is a wonderful place to be.

Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
At our school the books are taken in of all the children who sat the test, just to not single anyone out, I always find that the scariest time.
I hate the fact we don't find out which school they have been given until March. My eldest was given her results and school at he same time but that was seven years ago when you also had to put your caf in before you had results!

I too feel sick and don't think I can now look at the HT or Teacher without scrutinising their body language or expressions.The results were e-mailed at 8am yesterday morning to Kent schools and it would certainly be discussed with the year 6 teacher and usually the main topic of conversation in the next staff meeting.
The appeals will be heard on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday next week.
We are very new to the 11+ and only moved to Kent itself at the end of august, so DD started a new school a week before the test. We decided lastminute to go for the 11+ after deliberating and posing lots of questions on this wonderful forum.
I have to say, my attitude up until now has been what will be will be and if she can do it on her own merit then so be it. After being in the playground for a few weeks and the talk about the elusive 11+ that no one talks about I now Definatley fit into the paranoid club. Is there a membership?
Today after school DD said " We had some year 6 tests today, just reading age and Maths stuff" which I thought nothing of.
So after reading this post, Im now being paranoid and thinking Uh-Oh is this something to do with the 11+. So am I being paranoid???

Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
Same happened last year with my dd's class. I figured they needed up to date levels in case of appeals, that makes sense to me...Today after school DD said " We had some year 6 tests today, just reading age and Maths stuff" which I thought nothing of.

Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
Difficult to say. But suspect if school is appealing they need some data. And that applies to everyone in you dd class not just her so you don't know who needs the data! Assuming they all did the the same tests today. Paranoid is fine - join the kent 2012 thread and meet doodles with her head in the bucket, scarlett and her tutu and the rest of us neurotic, paranoid parents!

Is there another room in the bucket?
DS had the usual weekly spelling and maths test yesterday. I was quietly very relieved that he did well, just in case it was needed as evidence.

Re: Perceptive or paranoid?
Our year 6 are off on a week's residential on Sunday with the HT - how will that work if all appeals are to be held next week
Or do some schools have different allocated weeks for appeals
