Altrincham grammar for boys

Hi there.
I am asking anyone who may have the knowledge of this to help calm our mind. Our boy has achieved 375 pass mark for Altrincham grammar for boys. We live out of catchment are about 10 to 15 miles away from the school. Do we stand the chance?

Congrats on the high score! Sorry I don't have answer to your question however can you please share how did he prepare? Thanks!!

That's a fantastic result! He should be fine getting in from out of catchment (OOC) with that result. The selection for OOC boys is based on their scores and he would rank very highly. Please ignore the previous poster who is wrong. The girls' school uses distance solely for selection. The boys' school uses distance for in catchment applicants but ranks scores of OOC applicants and uses scores for OOC selection and your son's score is safe. Good luck.
