Admissions reality
How competitive entry really is, what scores mean, and where the waiting-list picture is strong enough to trust.
Full exam briefClassAce score intelligence
These are estimates based on community intelligence, historical patterns, and available evidence. They are not official school figures and actual values may vary.
Score banding
11+Offer score trend
Only one confirmed qualifying-score datapoint is available in the supplied evidence, so no trend should be inferred.
Waiting list intelligence
Official policy says that if places remain unallocated after first-round allocations, the school may conduct a Third Review for candidates whose scores were closest to the qualifying score of 334.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
A qualifying score is not the same as a guaranteed offer score.
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+' label here appears to be a Year 7 admissions page, not junior entry at age 7.
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.
Missing the school's entrance-test registration deadline means autumn testing is not available.
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.
