I had my interview for Camp Hill Girls last year, so I know the format for the interview. (I'm presuming the boy's interview is similar to the girls)

Even though it says "informal" I would strongly recommend dressing in smart clothing - everyone at my interview wore smart clothing.
You will probably be greeted at reception by members of the sixth form, who'll then either take you around the school/sixth form, giving you a chance to see it in action, or take you directly to the common room. (They divide students into groups, so everything happens in a slightly different order for everyone). Its a good time to ask questions.
When in the common room, the head of sixth form gave us a little talk, just talking about expectations if you get in. They then give you a sheet with some questions on it: ("what do you expect in college?" "why do you think camp hill is the sixth form for you", "why/how do you think you would fit in") The questions are more or less like that, i can't remember them exactly.

When you have your actual interview, you have it with a senior member of staff,but one who teaches/teached a subject you want to do. They'll ask you some questions about biology/chemistry (or whichever options you want to take), so be prepared. My friend chose chemistry and was asked at her interview something like "what is a polymer" and she had to explain how they were formed.
They'll look at your mock exams results (if you have them), and just ask you some questions about if you were to get into the sixth form how would you make your way to college every morning.

Mostly, i would just urge you to be confident in yourself.
Good luck!

HI, I had my interview at the start of February but have had no feedback. What about you? Although, thinking about it, I don't think mine went as well as yours... what are your predicted grades?

What school - KECH? - ive applied to loads

i havent heard back from them yet
on paper 7A*2A's 8Dist*/Dist A in AS maths

hbu?

I got an offer from King edwards aston today!!! - not going to take it up though lol

where else have you applied?

ryan

WOW!!! You have brilliant grades, Camp Hill is really the only KE I applied to as my grades are average. 6A*s and 3A's and an A in add maths. I am hoping DofE sets me apart from others because my grades dont! Looking at your grades, I am not surprised you got an offer!
And I don't understand the Dist A in AS maths? Does this mean you've already done the AS maths paper? Anyways, congratulations!

thanks... your grades arent exactly bad!

ermm.. the dist was linked to the 8..so 8Dist*/Distinction's

And yh,,, i get the reult for my last aslevel maths exam tommorow and i am very confident i will get my A yeahhh!!

got an offer from BVGS today...

Ryan
