Historical trend data is not yet strong enough to show confidently.
Waiting list intelligence
Official policy says parents may enter for assessment and be placed on a waiting list where no places are available.
11+ appears to be a live in-year assessment route rather than a single fixed assessment window.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
This is not only a school for choristers; it is a broader co-educational prep school aged 4 to 13.
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.
There is no published official pass mark in the evidence provided.
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.
