Admissions reality
How competitive entry really is, what scores mean, and where the waiting-list picture is strong enough to trust.
Full exam briefCompetition trend intelligence
The school references historical lowest cut-off scores in parent communications, but the actual year-by-year figures were not present in the extracted official evidence.
ClassAce estimate, not official data
Score banding
11+Offer score trend
Historical trend data is not yet strong enough to show confidently.
Waiting list intelligence
Official admissions policy states that if a place becomes available within PAN, it will be offered via the local authority to a late applicant 'by virtue of having a higher qualifying score than the next student on the rank order.'
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is not a single simple published pass mark that guarantees a place.
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 qualifying score is not the same as the final score needed for an offer.
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.
