Berkamsted Boys

Post by nif229 »

Hi

Our DS is due to sit entrance assessments for Berkhamsted Boys in January. As we are new to the indie system we're not sure what the tests consist of. Are they similar to the optional sats they sit at school each term. Does anybody know what VR score the school would be looking for?

He has a:

Maths paper
Enlish paper
VR paper
Dictation

He also has an appointment for an interview with the Head of the boys school. What kind of questions will he be asked? I'm worried that he'll be really nervous, bless him!

Does anybody have experience of the Berhamsted Boys School life/ assessment process? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Hello,
I have no real info for you but as no one has replied did not want you to feel unwanted!
Not sure if allowed to say but if you go along to the Education or Secondary Education Forum on the Mumsnet site and ask your question you might well get some replies.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Esmerelda

I was feeling slightly unloved! I'm going to get myself over to Mumsnet right now!

Thanks for your help.

Merry Christmas
