Loreto/CEM Results 2019

[Pollymum]

Did the post arrive?

[PrairieMum]

Yes the letter came today. She didn’t pass. Gutted!

Sorry to hear that - not helped by the wait. At least she tried and the preparation for the test will stand her in good stead for SATs.

[Pollymum]

Sorry to read this PrairieMum. Hope you are both ok. It's a stressful system.

Sorry to hear this Prairiemum, My DD didn't pass for Loreto either, tbh it was an after thought for us after the open day and lots of research we knew it would be a very slim chance of her getting in (she would be cat 7) so we spent all of our time prepping for the CEM test, so she didn't do any prep really for the Loreto test (being an ex-AGGS girl myself I had AGGS as my preference but her Dad suggested we put her down for the test anyway as good practice).

Hope your DD is ok, and not too upset? Mine has taken it in her stride really and isn't particularly bothered, she is now just nervous for Friday/Saturdays results!

Did your DD sit the other test? Fingers crossed for her if she did!

Prairiemum, I hope its not too soon to be posting this, but if your option for your DD is BTH , I really wouldn't worry. Having seen a number of relatives and friends children go through there, I think its an excellent school. They set very high expectations for all the children and the most able ones are really pushed. They are very hot on discipline too. I've looked round it twice and I think its lovely.

My friends son who she says was 'below average ability' when starting at BTH, got superb A level results and is now at a RG university. In fact better grades than my son who went to AGSB! So you see, a grammar school education is by no means an indicator of later success.

Best of luck whatever you decide.

Any insider news on when can we expect cem results?

We contacted Sale Grammar School on Monday to enquire and were informed that the letters would be posted on Thursday.
AGGS mention second class delivery on their site so I guess we should receive the letters from Saturday.

Hi all

Has anyone heard of results being emailed? A friend whose child did the exams last year said she got her results in an email and the results were then received in the post.

Thanks

Lovely supportive post, TIDDLYMUM. We were impressed by BTH too - the facilities, the pastoral support, the evidence of pupil talent and teachers' encouragement on display.

Great scoop Trafford19
