Waiting list intelligence
Official policy confirms that 'Where there are more applicants than places available, a waiting list will operate.'
The admissions page also says the school continues to welcome new pupils across year groups 'subject to availability'.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published 11+ pass mark on the official admissions pages.
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.
Places may still be available outside the main assessment day cycle, subject to availability.
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.
