Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
A qualifying score is not the same as being offered 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.
In-year admission is not a simple transfer route; places are only considered if vacancies arise and applicants may need assessment.
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.
Sixth form admission can be oversubscribed even after academic eligibility is met.
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.
