Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published official pass mark in the evidence provided.
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.
Bancroft's has main entry points at 7+, 11+ and 16+; other year groups are treated as occasional places.
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.
