How competitive entry really is, what scores mean, and where the waiting-list picture is strong enough to trust.

Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is a single admissions route for the whole school.
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 pass mark is available for entry.
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.
11+ is the main senior-school entry point.
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.
