Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Barfield’s published 11+ messaging is mainly about preparing pupils for senior-school entrance exams, not a published selective score threshold for joining Barfield itself.
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.
Registration does not guarantee an immediate place; the school says registered children are placed on a waiting list in date order.
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.
