Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing or qualifying in the Buckinghamshire grammar test is not the same as securing an offer from a specific grammar 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.
Dr Challoner's also has sixth-form entry; it is not solely an 11+ route.
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.
