Wallington/Newstead/Nonsuch -CAF

[Sayed]

Hi
My DD has cleared Wallington test but they did not inform the scores and we dont know the cut off. We are in catchment area for Wallington. She has cleared Nonsuch and Newstead wood as well but didn’t score very well. Nonsuch she has scored total 213(Eng and VR) and Newstead wood total 203 (VR and NVR). We are in catchment for newstead wood but outside for Nonsuch. Based on Historic data cut off for Newstead wood is around 218/219 (although I am not pretty sure if this is consistent over the years or changes). Nonsuch we do not know what the cut-off is going to be this year as this is the first year after they changed the tests introducing English with no NVR test.
I am sure about listing Wallington as first choice but unable to decide between Newstead/ Nonsuch for second and third choice.
Does anyone know from their experience what has been the cut off for Newstead wood last year. Only advantage we have for newstead wood is that we are in the catchment area but her score is far less than what the cutoff has been. Nonsuch her score is not good enough to be in first 80 as we are outside catchment. Any chance of her getting a place in Newstead with her score?
Would be grateful for any feedback/suggestions.

Many Thanks

You need to put the schools in your true order of preference. If she hasn't scored high enough for a school, she won't get a place, but it doesn't affect her chances on the school lower down on the form.

Many thanks sweetpenelope and tiggytape thats very helpful!!

Hello just wanted to know if your daughter was offered a place in newstead ??? As my daughter has just sat the text and scored very similar

Sorry but lowest cut from last year for Newstead was 218 and this was last round of offers

Thank you

It does not matter about catchment for Nonsuch.
My friends Dd passed the test not by a lot and was put on the waiting list.
She lives in Pollards Hill Mitcham.
In Oct her daughter was offered a place.
