Mistake Reading School Berks 9 pupils so is in 5th on the list !.

So do you have a question or something? What do you want to know?

Any school that is selective will also be socially selective. Be it by academic or religion. They always favour those who can play the game.

Wonder why Henrietta Barnett is not on there.

Sorry, a number of these are grammar schools, of course they are going to be selective......

What is your point I wonder, Slough is not a particularly nice area tbh.

Almost all Home Counties isn't it. Not a single London school, unless I'm not reading the list correctly.

Also, for those which are state boarding schools (which have a lot of boarding Forces pupils, who are eligible for pupil premium but not FSM) are the stats collected on day pupils or whole school?

And how does the FSM rate compare to proxy measures for poverty for the postcodes in their admissions footprints? Because if a school stands in an affluent area, it's FSM figure might be both low and totally representative of its neighbourhood.

What is the OP trying to say? Sorry for not understanding.

Sorry I take it back - just re-read the list from bottom to top and realise its not just Home Counties! Plus TBH my English geography is quite shocking!

St olaves technically in London (zone 6, Orpington!)

Sparkling - no idea - hopefully s/he will be back to clarify

Thanks iggly

I have 2 DSs in Secondary Education Hearts so I am in the right section I double checked.. Just worried what the hidden message is.

Don't think the op has a point to make. Maybe we were supposed to be outraged?

I'm more interested ( and glad that I'm not applying now as a non fsm/pp parent) that the local grammars have added an extra class in all the schools to attempt to make them the tool for social mobility grammars are always supposed to be. However in order to attempt to fill the extra 30 places with pp kids there is a substantially lower qualifying score for them.

Surely doesn't this just bring in a band of less able kids ?

How is Orpington technically London?

No because 11+ doesn't bring in the most able students but those with m/class backgrounds who can afford tutors and give their children loads of advantages.

Hockerill is Herts.

Theas- it might just allow those dc who are very bright but haven't had any individual tutoring.
It's a great idea.

Orpington is in London Borough of Bromley, so technically in London.

Also, St Olaves is historically a London school. Google it.

How? Because they vote in the London mayoral elections and are within a London borough, that's how.

I wish there was a grammar school in every town, here in Bucks they are just for the people who can afford the tutoring.

Bakeoff I do hope that's what happens. The test is supposed to be un teachable but I'm sure unfair advantage comes from tutoring yep

Theas- the theory is that without the coaching which their family supposedly "could not afford", they will get a lower score than non-FSM children.
And it's 25 extra, I believe.

meh- x-post
