Hockerill Anglo-European College aptitude test

I’m hoping for some advice from parents who have been through the Hockerill admission process. My DS sat the language aptitude test in September and has received a score around 97%. I was wondering if this is a good enough score to gain a day place as I’ve heard you need 98-99% which is very high. I would also like to know if it’s worth applying for flexi boarding as a back up? My DS really likes the school.

Hi there OP,
We have just moved your thread to our Boarding School board as there may be more chance of catching someone there. If no response, we can move back and cover all bases. Best of luck!

I am local
it does you no harm to put flexi as the back up if you have done so well. Good luck

Thank you @danishyellow I’m putting together our flexi application. I’m only struggling with the ‘boarding need’ but we are two parents who work mostly in London and across the Midlands so I’m hoping that is sufficient to express our need
