Wandsworth Test Results 2014-2015 - enough for Graveney?

I know of at least two more with selective offers who are leaving the list for independent schools, and a further two for who Graveney isn't their first choice and who are waiting on other waiting lists, so I think you're about to see a lot more movement!

Littlefluffymoo thanks for that information and for being positive. I feel we will be lucky with our position if we get in on the waiting list. Hope the best for your DS.

DS is on the waiting list and his position has gone up by 1, so they are starting to move. Good luck, 16th is a good position, I think your DD will probably get in soon!

If anyone out there hears of the Graveney Wait list offers starting to go out, please let us all know. We too are waiting. Got our 3rd choice which is still a great option and she is happy with it, but my dd would still prefer Graveney as friends going there on sibling places. We live too far away for that so could only hope for an extension place. She's 16th with a score of, but that may be too far down the line.

Congratulations to all our DD's and DS's.
Maemobley - a friend has a son in year 8 at Wilsons and he loves it.

My DD was offered Lady Margaret School and a top band place so I am very happy. She says she is also happy but I think a little bit of her is still thinking of Graveney and wondered if she will be offered a place at month end. She knows she is on the wait list.
If so it really is decision time and the choice is hers.....

Waves to everyone on the thread.

Moo is quite right - the current cut-off for Category 1 places is 253 (same as this time last year)

Info for those interested - cut off for Graveney this year is 253, but likely to go down.

Wilson's is really good! A friend at work is also keeping her fingers crossed for their son - hopefully I'll hear good news from her tomorrow! We didn't try for the Sutton schools - did think about it but it just seemed a bit too far from where we are.

Ashcroft, but hoping for Graveney on the waiting list. Anyone know the first round cut off at all?

How did you all do? we got DH's first choice - Wilson's.

Thank you, Harleyjosh, and good luck to you too.

Good luck swampster and everyone else too. It is all crazy - I swore I would not get dragged into all of this yet here I am watching this thread....

We are in a secondary school black hole so i am having kittens about this and counting down the minutes until 2 March. Our DS's best bets are being one of 63/1,000+ applicants or getting his name pulled out of the Sorting Hat. I can't bear it.

I don't mind saying StreathamHillary. It is actually MY first option school. It is Lady Margaret in Parsons Green - I would prefer her to go there as her sister is in Year 8 and we love the school. Gravney is HER first choice though so it is the top choice on the form(plus she will get a sibling place at LMS so it made no sense to do them in any other order).
And just in case anyone wonders why if I prefer LMS I didn't insist she goes there - I let DD1 chose her school so it is only fair DD2 should be allowed to do the same.

Well done, HarleyJosh - what is your second option school? (or maybe you don't want to say)

I have no idea why I think it will be higher - the truth is I haven't a clue!
I have banned her from discussing her score with anyone at school so I have no idea how any of her friends have done relative to her. I don't want to discuss it with any of my Yr6 Mum friends in case they are disappointed with how ther children have done. I've been avoiding people actually and just mumbling that we are pleased if anyone asked.
I am just so glad she didn't let herself down on the day - she refused to practice very often and I thought she might lose focus halfway through tbh. Anyway from here whatever will be will be.....

It's a really good score, Harleyjosh!

Why do you think scores might be higher this year? Hopefully they'll be lower!

She got 248. I knew she would be fine in the Non VR but thought the VR score would be lower so I really didn't think there was a chance of her going anywhere but her sister's school (her second choice).
The score is borderline anyway for Gravney and I would think not good enough for a first round offer(if at all...)so we have some time. Scores may all be higher this year than in the previous two.
I came on here as I was so shocked to get the results and wondered if others had received theres - I didn't think we got them until March - the school never mentioned it and I thought it was the results from a height/weight measure day they had a month ago!!!
She is happy anyway with either of her two top options which is the main thing. I would prefer not to have two children in two boroughs but if she does get an offer I think she will want to take it and the discipline of Gravney would push my bright but very laid back girl.

What did your DD2 get Harleyjosh? Sounds good!

Just got the letter from DD2's school and I'm in mild shock. I wasn't expecting to get these results until after the school places were offered just like DD1 in 2013. I wonder what the cut off will be....
We are so happy with DD1's school and assumed DD2 would be going there in September but maybe not...
Hells bells - think I need a drink at 12.09 in the afternoon.

Good luck Pasteurella. Thanks for sharing the number & letting us know that the marks were available.

Yes I know exactly where my child is going in Spetember as he will be starting y8! It was last year for my last DS Pasteurella.

So having been through it, I think I know something of what I speak!

Having children at 2 different schools I also know that schools are more than they appear on paper.

And having opted against Graveney for my last DS (as it didn't suit him and he would not have thrived there) despite his twin siblings being very happy there, I know that other schools are just as good.

Pasturella love the passive-aggressive ! You're surely not trying to say which threads others can and cannot comment on? On a public forum?

Good luck on the 2nd March.
