Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
This is not a grammar school entry point in the usual sense; the school is an independent primary and uses 11+ mainly as a destination outcome for Year 6 leavers.
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 100% 11+ pass rate does not equal a published score threshold or guaranteed place at any specific grammar school.
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.
