11PlusSwot Blog

Many of you by now will know your 11 Plus exam results. If you worked hard and were fortunate to pass and get a place at the grammar school of your choice - well done and congratulations! Please drop us an email at support@11plusswot.co.uk as we would like to add you to the web site and celebrate in your success.

for those that didn't get the school they wanted it may not be over yet. It may be possible to go onto the waiting list at the grammar school and be short listed if a place becomes avaialble.

We know of a case where a daughter failed to get into the grammar school of her choice. Her parents wrote to the school putting their case as to why they thought their daughter was worthy of a place and several weeks later she was invited to the school for an interview after one of the other pupils dropped out. She was accepted into the grammar school and went on to obtain 4 A levels  and is doing very well studying law at university.

Good luck to you all.

Should parents have to stump up extra cash to keep their Grammar school solvent?

I guess with the credit crunch biting we may well be hearing more on this topic over the coming months.
