Sydenham Girls Reception admission

[Mummytime]

Hi there,

Looking for any parents who have girls at Sydenham Girls in primary, what did the entrance interview/ assessment involve? Wondering how they interview 3/4 yr olds! TIA xx

My youngest has just started Reception at Sydenham and we have a daughter in year 3 as well so have been through the 4+ twice. It?s difficult to know what they ask for as you don?t see them but as the school is not academically selective there?s nothing to prep for in any case. The little feedback I had from my daughters was that they played and listened to a story. I think they ask them about letters and numbers but it?s all very low key.

Feel free to PM me if you?ve got any specific questions.

Thank you - how long did it take to find out if you had the place? My colleague who's daughter is in year 7 took months to get an answer! x

Assessment was on 9 January 2020 and we had our offer on 13 Jan. Prep school it?s pretty quick.

If you get wait listed then there is no doubt movement in April when the state school reception places come out and also whenever Alleyns/JAGs offers go out.
