Waiting list intelligence
Official admissions guidance states that if a vacancy arises during the first term of Year 7, the waiting list in existence from 1 March of that year will be used.
Official admissions guidance also states that parents/carers must reapply at the start of each academic year to remain on the waiting list where a place cannot be offered.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the test alone does not guarantee 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.
If your child is not offered a place, waiting list interest does not automatically carry forward each academic year.
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.
