Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the 11+ does not by itself secure 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.
The school uses the shared Slough Consortium testing process rather than a standalone school-specific Year 7 exam.
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.
