Loughborough, Leicestershire
Does anyone have any experience of applications to Loughborough High or Our ladies convent? Unsure of the standard expected for 11+ or any other advice? Also possible scholarship or bursary help?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: Loughborough, Leicestershire
I had some experience but it is about 10 years old! Convent was easier to get into than the High school. All the kids I knew who took the convent exam passed it though some didn't get the high school. Many who got the High school also got Trent and Nottm High.
As for bursaries and scholarships - I think the scholarships tend to be relatively low percentages. Sorry not sure about bursaries.

Thanks for your reply I had come to the same conclusions myself with a little research but am unsure how accurate it was. Not many options in this area, with two other children to drop off at school locally my options are limited. I have no idea how bright a child needs to be for a place, no information or standards/levels to be found?

Re: Loughborough, Leicestershire
has your child's current school got any experience of children going to the convent or the high ? if so they may be able to help with standards.
there are some other options (with bus services) - Trent / Ratcliffe / Nottingham - I know some chidren who got assorted scholarships at Ratcliffe and Trent but they were not large amounts and he children went to Loughborough High instead.
