First Walsall, now Bucks, these are bitter body blows for the 11 plus tourism bus which will remain in the garage unless SW Herts stay with DAO and go for Saturday 3rd September!
Perhaps Milll Hill could go CEM and bring the rest of the UK to their doorstep on Saturday 11th June 2016!
Take note SW Herts if you stick with DAO you will be the only CEM exam with non catchment places before CEM Super Saturday 11th September 2016!!
HBS has not announced yet so it is still possible that the Bucks exam will be before the HBS exam as it was this year. DG

Finally! I've no more children to go through system but great for others. Will be interesting to see how it affects allocation profiles!
Re: Bucks 11+ test dates 2016 (2017 admission)
I don't have any more DC to go through but am so pleased to hear this. As others have said will be interested to see what difference it makes to the entry profile.

Excellent, was just the minor adjustment Bucks GSs needed to make to correct their mistake of such early scheduling. Hopefully we'll be rid of the 11+ tourism that has skewed results in the last two years and which has undoubtedly displaced deserving children from Bucks and neighbouring counties.

Brilliant news! Well done to all involved in lobbying for this change

Is this just playing into the hands of the tuition industry and especially the mock testers. We did Walsall and got 360 - which guarantees a place any any consortium grammar. Same CEM 6 weeks later and we just scrape out a result in Birmingham, which we now nervously await allocations days.Daogroupie wrote:First Walsall, now Bucks, these are bitter body blows for the 11 plus tourism bus which will remain in the garage unless SW Herts stay with DAO and go for Saturday 3rd September!

Be careful what you wish for . Collapsing this all down to a single highly charged all or nothing day, does no one any good.
Re: Bucks 11+ test dates 2016 (2017 admission)
People who live in Bucks only really have one shot - and at the moment that 'shot' is being severely affected by tourists because we have a qualify/not qualify test. Every 'tourist' adds to the standardisation and, since they are prepping for other areas, they push the raw mark to qualify up.Petitpois wrote: Collapsing this all down to a single highly charged all or nothing day, does no one any good.
We don't have comps - fortunately some of the Uppers [Secondary Moderns] are great but not all of them. If it is a choice between an outstanding school and one in 'special measures' or 'requiring improvement' - what would you choose?
