Yes, it is now GL.Iam wrote:It is now a GL, isn’t it?
I ll try and add a link for the website,
under Admissions:
https://www.hbschool.org.uk/434/admissions/year-7" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
The point DG is making is that the HBS paper is structured like a CEM paper - short sections for each subject.
Not 3 full GL papers!!

It would certainly sort the superselective from the also rans, seeing how far they could get in the hour, though?thisisnuts wrote:Yes, it is now GL.Iam wrote:It is now a GL, isn’t it?

Re: Henrietta Barnett School
So should I assume that a child who receives pupil premium just have to focus only on English and non verbal to get selected for HBS leaving maths completely? As if selected in top 300 , they will be allocated a space regardless of their results in second round of the test which includes maths ?

That is, of course, assuming that the top 300 doesn't include many more than a total of (?)104 candidates eligible for PP or naming the school on an EHCP. (But yes, that would be an unlikely scenario).

Re: Henrietta Barnett School
It is English, VR and NVR and candidates need to be in the top ten percent to go through to round two. DG

Three formats is not unusual. Most CEM papers include three formats. DG
Thanks for listing out the areas.
Just to be double sure, you did not mention SPAG. So is it only Comprehension when it comes to English ?
1. English Comprehension (no SPAG)
2. NVR
3. VR
Re: Henrietta Barnett School
SPAG is definite part of KS2 curriculum and GL English.
But its difficult to say if it can be fit into 20-25 mins part (of overall 60-70 minute test).
Perhaps, last year parents can provide some details but it can change year to year.
