Posting here on the off chance anyone has insider knowledge as I've hunted but the information I'm after seems to be guarded like an official state secret.
The admissions advice says:
- if the test places your child in group A put the school as your first choice
- If the test places your child in group B consider putting the school as your first choice
- If the test places your child in group C then consider putting the school as one of your choices.
At the open night we were told not to bother if in group D onwards.
Given that we only get 3 choices, I'd like some stats to see whether it is worth "gambling" one of our choices on a group B or group C placing.
Does anyone know the percentage and/or numbers of children allocated to groups B & C and how many of those then get a place at the school?
I'm imagining the margins will be fine as this is not A GS area so the school has many applicants, presumably of a similar standard or else it'd be a waste of the child's time sitting the exam. Is that assumption correct?
Thank you in advance for any information.
