DS1 is in year 5 and we are currently thinking about secondary schools. We are in the catchment area for a good school which is about to become an academy. Talking to some of the other parents it has been mentioned that as an Academy they can set thier own admissions policy, and so it might not on catchment but academic ability. Is this true? DS1 is just above average for most subjects but I dont think he could pass an 11+ without serious coaching.
