Thanks BarnetDad.

I think I will keep the name for some time. DD2 is due to go through the same process in four years time :)

Just like you, DaoGroupie, MarkThyme, Dadwithtwodaughters and another mum, I also have two daughters.

Thanks very much to all of you, and this forum, for providing excellent guidance.

Really appreciate it.

Middlesexmum,

The day was rather stressful. We would like to take a few days before deciding between the top two choices - SPGS and NLCS.

Will send regret letters to other schools later in the evening.

We are heading to pizza hut along with DD's best friend to celebrate :)

Well done to your daughter Concerned. These are tough, but nice choices to have.

I would appreciate if anyone can share their experience and insights re the computer tests at St Paul and CLGS. How long these tests are, what are the test room atmosphere like, and what sort of things they cover. Are they based on Maths and English National Curriculam? How do you answer them- multiple choice? Roughly how many sections/ questions? etc...

Thanks for your time.
