Slough exam clashing with Tiffin boys

Post by happymommy2 »

got the Slough consortium exam date as 15th which is clashing with Tiffin boys. Is anyone in the same boat? Can we request slough schools for alternate date?

What does the Slough Consortium say?

Presumably Tiffin has already said No.

I’d guess Slough will say no allowance for date change too, but that is a guess. Worth asking.

We haven't contacted them yet. Will send a mail to Slough Consortium first as Tiffin date was set long back.

Is there a large area of overlap between priority areas for Tiffin and those for the Slough grammar schools?

As per the school website, Exam for Tiffins Boys is only one day i.e 15th Oct 2020.

is Slough Consortium conducting the exam on only one day or spread across few days ?
If it is spread across multiple days, then it is worth checking with Slough Consortium.

we contacted the Slough consortium, they gave the option of doing the exam after Oct half term. But they haven't decided on the exact dates. So, we decided to go ahead with 15th Oct as DS is getting frustrated with the delayed exams.

So you have been given the option of doing them both and you have decided not to.

So which one are you dropping? DG
