Admissions reality
How competitive entry really is, what scores mean, and where the waiting-list picture is strong enough to trust.

Historical trend data is not yet strong enough to show confidently.
Waiting list intelligence
No official waiting-list movement data found.
Because selection is multi-stage and highly competitive, waitlist behaviour should not be assumed from raw test performance alone.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no single published 11+ pass mark.
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.
Strong test performance alone is not enough; later assessment stages matter.
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.
4+ entry is not low-stakes just because it is junior entry; the school states the junior school is oversubscribed.
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.
