Nope. The school believes in general that, as soon as the material is printed and published, it is already out dated :)

Should the application deadline for reception 2015-16 on oct 31? Why they will send interview invitation at this moment? Are you talking about reception interview for 2015-16? You don't possess any admission priority?

Makes sense with the hesitancy because without priority (staff, sibling, passport), the chance is supposed to be low. However, last year a friend of mine with UK passport (also ethnic Chinese), her son got in by scoring Excellent on the assessment, so yes, it is still possible. If you are applying for Reception (the chance is much much slimmer for Pre-Reception, even those with sibling priority), and your child is well prepared, then definitely go for it. As i always say, if you try, the chance may be slim, but if you don't try the chance is zero.

As i know the chance is very slim  ( they rank in the selection process according to priority ).

The usual, but make sure the child is independent, confident with separation from parents, and is quite vocal and responsive.

Yokada may I ask why you asked about textbooks? Seem like we've deviated from your topic...

I don't know why you feel strange. Does the school have to process the application only after the deadline? We applied 2 years ago.

To my understanding, any schools with application deadline (thats mean not a first come first serve basis) they should not process anything earlier than that, no matter how early you apply. Otherwise, what a deadline for? please correct me if my understanding make you feel strange too. Thank you for giving me the details and I will contact the admission office tomorrow to clarify their actual policy. Good luck!
