Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
Is there a way of getting to know scores in group 1 and group 2 tests? Would North London Consortium reveal them to interested parents?

Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
Private schools do not release scores at all. It is just pass or fail. You have no idea which of the papers let them down.
This is difficult to deal with especially for parents who were confident that their student would do well. DG

Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
You can ask at interview stage. Schools won't give out scores but they can give you an idea of how your child has done and if they did better in Maths or English.

Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
Unfortunately it is mostly the parents of the students who did not get an interview who need the information about where the student did not reach the required level.
Even if the schools just used a grading system such as perhaps A for English and D for Maths with C being the required level that would help parents understand what went wrong. DG

Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
We missed asking this question in the interviews as except St.Helen's none of the schools that my daughter interviewed at had any formal interaction between parents and teachers who might have this information. Some schools like UCS shared scores when I asked them for my son.
Re: North London Girls’ School Consortium
Wycombe Abbey do release grades (if asked) and I think other schools too re: CE? Downe House (?)
I think the problem may than arise if the child has aced the pre-test/pre-assessment (some schools will often tell you verbally how they did in interview/pre- assessment) and got: A,B,C or similar in 11 plus, CE but not been offered a place in end/wait listed.
Essentially some independent schools can take who they wish and for some there will be an 'unofficial' sibling policy etc, too, which may bump some others who may not have all skill set ideally required down the list (ie: ok/good academics but no stand out talent e.g. A team sporting ability or music etc). Depends how much competition year on year etc too.
