Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no published official pass mark in the evidence provided for 11+, 13+ or 16+ entry.
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.
Junior school entry is not openly available in every year group; Years 3–6 new applications are currently placed on a waiting list.
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.
Pre-prep entry does not use a formal assessment procedure.
This means there's no single pass mark to aim for. Preparation should focus on performing strongly across all areas rather than targeting a specific number.
