Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Cheltenham College's core senior school is 13-18, so parents should not assume a standard published 11+ senior entry route.
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.
No official pass mark or offer score is published in the evidence provided.
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.
