lol, i remember in the Entrance Exam, the teacher asked how many students chose maths. Everyone but one person put their hand up. That was embarrassing.

Lol.

In my current school, the majority aren't studying maths.

wow, I for one didn't pick maths, although, if politics fails to fill my cup I may consider changing. I'm a strong A/weak A* student at maths, don't know how I'd do on the A-level course, as for further maths, that isn't for me. :afraid:

Guys, I know that HWSF is rather academic in terms of it's academic approach at learning. However, does anyone know how it wil be in terms of residential trips and such?

Thank you and good luck in receiving your letters!

hi I have got in! I cant believe it because I come from a very privileged background - attend a grammar school, wealthy background and mum university educated and in top job in teaching profession. I really did not think I would fit the criteria. so for anyone who might not think its worth applying because you don't fit the main criteria give it a go. if you have had a grammar school education you will find the test easy. give it go!!

does anyone know what sort of results the students are currently getting (I know that they haven't taken public exams) but even just an indication from mocks etc?? my parents will only let me go if they have good results because I already go to a grammar school.

On the letter that is given to prospective students with offers, it states that they will take 250 students and gave out 300 offers. Does that mean the top 250 students will be taken or will they make adjustments? (I'm talking hypothetically if more than 250 students put HWSF as their first choice and met the offer).

I don't think that they will take the top 250 students because it is very likely that not all 300 students that received the offer will enrol at Harris Westminster in September

I guess that's the case. I'm just a bit skeptical...

If you don't mind me asking but, is Harris Westminster your first choice college?

No, its my second choice, but my first choice is practically impossible for me to get into.

I found out from a current student that if you meet the offer, you have a guaranteed place; they do adjustments for the extra students. That's what they did last year.

HWSF is partially Westminster school, and over there they send 50% of their students to Oxford and Camebridge. Shouldn't expect much less at HWSF.
