My daughter recently sat the entrance exam for a Kent independent school and has received a letter asking her to attend an interview with the Headmaster, with a view to a potential academic scholarship. Does anybody know what will be expected of her and what they are ideally looking for? The interview only lasts 10-15 minutes.

And can anyone advise what should be discussed by the parents in interview with the Headteacher. Should the size of the scholarship be discussed - or is this a complete no no ! Is the head trying to figure out what they can offer / not offer ?
