Decision summary
- Girls seeking a selective state school with strong sixth form outcomes, pastoral care and broad enrichment.
- Passing the SET does not mean a place is secured; Year 7 entry requires both SET and the second-stage exam.
- The process appears structurally stable across recent policies: SET qualification followed by the second-stage exam and then oversubscription criteria. One notable admissions-policy change is that the Pupil Premium/Free School Meals score flexibility shown in the evidence increased from up to 10% lower in the 2024 policy to up to 20% lower in the 2025 and 2026 policy documents.
