Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the Bexley test does not by itself secure a place at this school.
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.
A score close to the selective threshold may still leave many children competing for 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.
