“We are pleased to inform you your child has successfully passed their school entrance exam. We would now like to offer your child a place at our school.”

This was the message my wife and I received for both our children, following years of figuring out what was needed and how to do it. (Even as a primary school teacher, we didn’t learn about the 11plus!)
