Waiting list intelligence
Official in-year admissions guidance says: "The School is fully over-subscribed in all year groups" and that if successful a candidate may only be placed on the waiting list.
Official late Year 6 entrance examination guidance for 29 April 2026 says that successful candidates for Year 7 September 2026 entry "can only be placed on our Waiting List."
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Registering with the local authority alone is not enough for every Loreto test route.
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.
A successful late or in-year test does not guarantee an immediate place.
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.
The school does not publish a clean pass mark on the evidence provided here.
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.
