They were just as quick last year. Their exam was on Friday 13th and we had a call back Saturday morning with interviews starting on the Monday. We had a Scholarship interview and somewhat lengthy for our daughter and for us also. It was a different experience to what our friends had so we had some idea that they could be offering more than just a place.

Good luck to all!

Also very impressed with the quick turnaround! Can I ask, did they let you know beforehand that it was a scholarship interview?

Hi! No they didn’t. I had a guess from what my daughter told me about how her tests went. Our interview with the Head was about 25mins although felt like longer. My daughter had been gone 30 odd mins and the other parents and girls that were there had been in and out in 10 mins before we went in.
They really want to gage whether or not to send an offer like this to a child as it could be wasted if not accepted.
By all means things change each year and you can not go by my experience only. But I was able to compare with others I knew so had an idea.
