Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the test is not the same as automatically getting 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 publishes a qualifying score for 11+, but not a final offer score ladder.
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.
External sixth-form entry is available, but subject combinations and academic standards still matter.
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.
