SUCCESS CAME AT an early age for several pupils yesterday.

Some early sitters managed to secure places at secondary schools after taking the Barbados Secondary Schools Entrance Exam, also known as the Common Entrance or 11-Plus.

The top ten of the early sitters earned places at Harrison College, Queen’s College, Christ Church Foundation and Alexandra School. Top among them was overall best boy Javon Linton of Blackman and Gollop Primary.

Alecsandra JnPierre, ten, of St Angela’s School, was so nervous upon hearing the news that she could barely get the words out. (CA/AC/GC/SB)
