i am watching for MTS... spoke to the admissions team last week and they were dismissive of any change... but its a wait and watch game.

It is indeed.

The more that abandon January for November and December the more the others will consider moving.

If others start doing interviews and offers earlier then those who wait until January will lose mind share. In my experience when parents and students get offers they start to focus on that school and don't always wait for later schools. DG

North London consortium has not changed its offer dates so the timing of exams/interviews not relevant. Highgate has been in December for a few years but still has to publish alongside GSA/Consortium dates

i dont think any interviews will be in December as far as i can see only the exam has moved and offer dates for both girl and boys schools have stayed the same.

RMS are saying they will review at half term....

John Lyons, are having three dates where they will administer their own exams and then call backs will take place for interviews in Jan. This information will be sent out to parents who have registered.

Excellent news. Thank you. Glad to hear sense is prevailing.

Why is it more dangerous to have a student come in and sit at a desk rather than a computer? DG

MTS keeping its exams in January. Some primary schools will host their own candidates and others will be hosted at MTS.
