11 Plus Exams Forum

I appreciate this thread is well and truly passed 11 + but is any one out there waiting to hear from the school about whether their daughter has a place in the 6 th form for September 2009..
We sent an application in last November and were told we would hear by January/ February.Was told would be a delay as they had received over 300 applications for just 40 places for external candidates. We heard nothing but then received a letter inviting my daughter to the school to meet with the staff to discuss her A level options.
Then told we would hear by Easter. Girls who were not invited to meeting received letter saying they would not be considered further.
I now understand we will not hear until after Easter break. Seems a long time bearing in mind Tiffin Boys have sent out offer letters to external candidates for places in their 6th form.

Might be worth posting this in the 'beyond 11+' section as well.

Good point running mum . I have posted there as well.

They're probably waiting for references from the current school before making their decision. You can imagine that it won't be high on the list of priorities for the current school - no school likes to lose clever pupils to a rival independent or grammar.
