Admissions reality
How competitive entry really is, what scores mean, and where the waiting-list picture is strong enough to trust.
Full exam briefCompetition trend intelligence
The evidence set shows repeated annual Year 7 admissions pages and a continuing consortium test model with GL Assessment, but not enough official score data to establish a reliable score trend.

Historical trend data is not yet strong enough to show confidently.
Waiting list intelligence
Official in-year admissions page says the school is "currently oversubscribed and there are no places available Year 7 – 11."
Official September 2026 entry page says: "Late applications cannot be considered for testing and second round offers until 1st March 2026 National School Allocation Day."
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the consortium test does not by itself 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.
A published single pass mark is not clearly provided in the evidence here.
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.
