11+ Exams in July ?

Post by Hopefuldad »

Hi

I keep on hearing, from other parents, that the exams have been brought forward to July for the 2014 intake. I have looked in the websites of CSSE ( and Redbridge) but they haven't updated the information. I find this surprising, especially as some children would still only be 9 at the time of the test.

Does anybody have any information regarding this change?

I've heard nothing at all and it would surprise me. It doesn't mean it's not true though.

Hi Moved

Even the letter informing about CCHS changes talks about Autumn of year 6 as well. Which comforts me slightly. However, these few parents keep insisting so I wanted to ask the forum members.

The letter that went out to Headteachers last week regarding the new admission exam for CCHS gave the sitting date as 14th Sept 2013. I doubt they would have their exam so much after the main 11+!

Are these folk willing to share the source of their information?

CSSE website:

CSSE 11+ TEST FOR 2014 ENTRY WILL BE HELD ON SATURDAY 21ST SEPTEMBER 2013

so one less rumour to worry about.

Arucana girl, I think the OP was talking about the exams coming forward to July, not back to the July after! That would not be possible, all places need to be allocated on National Allocation day in March. DG

I suspect this is just someone being facetious.
January to November to September. Next stop July!

I know that - I said that I doubt that CCHS would have their exams so far AFTER the 11+, meaning CSSE in July 2013 as CCHS have already said that their exam would be in September 2013!
