Waiting list intelligence
Official in-year admissions page says applicants who qualify academically but cannot be offered a place due to oversubscription are placed on the in-year waiting list, active for 12 months.
Official 2026 Year 7 page states: 'APPLICATIONS HAVE NOW CLOSED WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCEPT ANY LATE APPLICATIONS.'
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There are no fees, but this is still a selective grammar-school admission process.
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.
Passing the academic standard does not guarantee a place if the year is oversubscribed.
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.
Official evidence located here does not publish a clean pass mark or final offer score.
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.
