Have you been refused a Year 7 place (for September 2012 start) after June 2012? If so was it because that year was oversubscribed?

Also do you recall how many applications Forest School received for year 7 places for September 2012 start?

Hi Arsenal

I can't help you with your first two questions but I can advise that the paperwork we received from the Forest, last year, advised that "more than 600 students applied for Scholarships and Bursaries".

There are approximately 72 girls and 72 boys in the September 2012 intake however around 22 girls and 22 boys automatically came up from the prep school. Leaving around places 50 places available for girls and another 50 available for boys.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Boo that was really helpful

I wanted to ask -- the children who sat the forest exam, dd they say whether the practise papers were similar to the real papers?

We have been told "" students who receive the practise papers will not be shocked when they sit the real exam''

Forest school exam has not taken place yet, its on 26th of Jan
