Re: CLSB 10 plus
It does seem that the more senior person who interviews you the more interested they are in you. The Head would have a lot more authority to make deals than more junior staff. DG
Re: CLSB 10 plus
CLSB 10+ offer letters are out. And our son has been offered a place. All of those who have been through all of this know exactly how we feel.
Re: CLSB 10 plus
well done. I take it you are accepting?
it is a brilliant school as my DS1 is in the first form. DS2 did not get at the 10+ so we will have to try again next year...

Re: CLSB 10 plus
Well done to your family as I know it was a family effort. I have just heard from a student I know of who won a place and I hope I will hear from others today. DG
Re: CLSB 10 plus
Thank you. Yes, City is our independent school of choice so, other than our last few wobbles about the journey, we will accept the place.Umisan wrote:well done. I take it you are accepting?

I was tempted to reply to your earlier post but was concerned I might come across a bit patronising, so I hope that I don't now. In among the disappointment for your DS2, at least he has another chance next year. Good luck to him for that.
Re: CLSB 10 plus
gazzag, dont worry. being realistic and with DS1 in the school already, I know the academic standards the school expects from their boys and to be honest DS2 might not be ready for it just yet. coming from a state primary, I can compare YR 6 with OG and certainly think it is far more suitable for the more advance pupils who would benefit the best.

Re: CLSB 10 plus
This is 10 plus not 11 plus and just forty places up for grabs. I only know of two so far who got an offer. The 11 plus applicants are still having their interviews. DG
Re: CLSB 10 plus
Congratulations to all who were made an offer at 10+. I was contemplating going for this for ds but wanted to keep my options open for grammar next year.
In Ds school - 3 boys went for it; one a dozen rankings off an interview (mum phoned and asked for ranking); second interviewed but not offered and third interviewed with head and offered. The boy who was offered was top academically and working I would say, at least two years ahead, certainly for maths and English. His CATs scores were usually in the top 1%. A clever boy but not loads of extracurricular ie; not Grade 6 on two instruments/county sports player as seems to be the case at a lot of the Indies these days!! Worth going for if City is a real contender for Secondary and your child has outgrown his primary school.

Re: CLSB 10 plus
I forgot to ask, does anyone know how many applied at 10+ this year?
