Alleyn's School, Dulwich

[FAC51]

Contrast the indie we applied to where they did fun things before and the parents had a nice lunch.

Lucky you.

We didn't get so much as a cup of coffee on exam day at any of the Indies we'd paid our registration fees to!

DS did get lunch at one of them though.

To underline your point, here is a short extract from The Times feature yesterday on 11+ tourism (my emphasis):

Del Cooke, head teacher at Henrietta Barnett, said that testing 2,400 girls on the same day was a huge undertaking. “It’s very difficult to deal with, you get no funding for it. You have to run it accurately — we can’t make mistakes — and it’s particularly challenging."

Can I ask those who have done the Alleym's 11+ recently, is it multiple choice questions?
Thank you for your kind words of advice!
