Anybody heard from Wilsons?

[sunnymummy]

Sorry! That should say 167!!

Sorry I don't have any info on that. There weren't any parents waiting on Wilsons waiting list places on this site and those I knew got straight in. Melinda may know more

I heard that Wilsons have 3 types of letters.
I assume this is one:
"Your son has scored 167 or above" (or something to that effect, i.e. he would have got a place last year, and probably will this year)
Does anybody know what they are?
Is there:

• a "You-got-a-place-son" letter? (guaranteed place)
  a "you-passed-but-under-167" letter? (probably not a place)
  a "you-didn't pass" letter? (definitely no place)

Also do you know how many boys applied, more or less then last year?
Thanks

I understand around 1600 boys sat the exam and 366 passed. That is mind boggling Well done to all those who passed! That is a fantastic achievement.

[surreymum]

There is definitely a "you did not pass" letter

I can't be of much more help here I'm afraid - only to say I think the pass rate is about the same as last year.

good luck to all for March - you have all done well to pass Wilsons (well I mean your boys have!)

[sunnymummy]

Surreymummy - that's a real shame

My friend's ds had that letter too. I'm v. sad. They've had a pretty bad six months and I was hoping for the best for them. And I'd been hoping our dss would have been together too.

Good luck for your other applications.

Please don't feel sorry for me-I am a year on from all of this and lucky enough to have all my sons at Sutton grammar

I am sorry for your friend though.

[sunnymummy]

surreymum - I'm well and truly envious now.

Hi, congratulations to all the children who got through. It looks like my boy will be on the waiting list. He's already probably on the waiting list for Wallington.

Hope he does not pass all his exams but may STILL fail to get a place!
