Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
This is not an independent school for day pupils: day places are grammar-school places allocated through Buckinghamshire Council.
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.
The detected '7+' signal here refers to Year 7 boarding registration, not an age-7 prep-school style entry test.
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.
