Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the Buckinghamshire 11+ does not necessarily guarantee a place at this specific 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.
Parents should not rely on generic grammar-school score talk without checking the school's annual admissions pages and catchment information.
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.
