I am sure you will be made very welcome and I hope you enjoy your day.

Please do not post anything about the content of the papers but it would be good to hear about the general feel. DG

The support on this forum for parents and by parents is so amazing and lovely. Does anyone know how many boys are called for interview in proportion to places on offer. Just want to manage DS’s expectations, bless him.

Three years ago now, the MTS interview was a very civilized affair, a very nice man asking general questions about likes and dislikes, what subjects did my son prefer and why, which ones he liked less and why, I felt they just wanted a general feel for the boys, their manners and behaviours. It was really hard to turn it down, their offer had a very nice personal touch including a hand written post card by the interviewer, recollecting high points of their meeting.
