Waiting list intelligence
Official policy says a 'Third Review' may be held if places remain unallocated, for candidates 'closest to the qualifying score of 334'.
Late registrants who miss the autumn test deadline are not tested until after National Allocation Day (1 March 2025), according to the admissions policy.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
Passing the entrance test does not by itself guarantee a place if the school is oversubscribed.
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 is a Year 7 admissions form page, not evidence of a separate age-7 intake.
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.
