Historical trend data is not yet strong enough to show confidently.
Waiting list intelligence
Official admissions wording says: "Offers will be made to successful candidates on an ongoing basis, so delayed applications run the risk of all places being allocated already."
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published clean pass mark in this evidence pack for 11+, 13+ or 16+.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
Applying later may reduce your chances because the school says offers are made on an ongoing basis.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
