Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published official pass mark in the evidence reviewed.
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.
Being registered early does not remove the need for assessment and interview.
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.
Chigwell is primarily a day school; boarding is offered at Sixth Form for international students.
This means there's no single pass mark to aim for. Preparation should focus on performing strongly across all areas rather than targeting a specific number.
