New Olaves 2 part test, is it this Sept 2015?

[hornetgirl]

I am getting confused reading the admissions policies (St Olaves) for my DS who is in year 5 now. He will be doing 11+ this September in 2015 for Sept 2016 entry. I thought this meant 2015/16, but some of the policies are vague, as his first year in secondary school is 2016/17 do the admissions policies for 16/17 apply?

Any ideas? It is relevant because St Olaves is changing from a single test in Sept 2015 to a 2 part test in the 16/17 policy. I am not sure if he will be doing the old fashioned test this Sept or the New 2 part test instead?

The new policy for 2016/17 was published in Dec 2014.

We are sailing in the same boat. My DS currently in Year 5 will also sit the exams this September for entry in 2016. As per the Olaves website, the new 2 stage test is in a draft stage. They will decide by June and if they go through with it, the new test rules will apply from the Sept 2015 exam!!

I know..just our luck right!
