For those with children who entered SPGS or Westminster or Godolphin and Latymer at the 11 plus stage, can I ask what their standardised age score was on ATOM for maths and english or ISEB SAS score to secure a place? Our daughter is not a genius, but i am wondering what the range of SAS scores these type of schools accept. I tend to find the ATOM scores lower than the in-school assessments so would find anyones experience who has been through this really helpful. English we have an ATOM ISEB score of 120 and Maths ISEB 125 - suspect we are out of the running but it would be helpful to hear from anyone who can share their views of the range of scores these schools might accept? Thank you !

DD had English and math scores ranging from 130-142 on Atom. Her verbal and nonverbal were 120s. They say CATs are 8-10 points above Atom scores. DD goes to G&L. She did not apply to Westminster or SPGS.

I am a tutor and my students who get in to SP / Westmister get around 128-140 on Atom. It varies a lot, and the school looks at a variety of factors while offering admissions (not just ISEB scores). CAT scores are a good indicator as well, and anything above 135 stands a good chance for the top schools. I know that a lot of prep schools have stepped away from CAT-based assessments this year though - but it's still a good indicator from what I've seen with my students.
