Westminster Sixth Form Entry for Boys

[bambinomom]

Hi everyone,

DS is aiming for 2020 entry and will sit their entrance exam next year.
I read elsewhere 20 new boys joined Westminster this year vs 10 in the past, which made me curious. Out of 500+ applicants they get each year, what's the split between girls and boys? I'm trying to gauge acceptance rate for boys.

Any insights you can share would be very helpful and much appreciated!

I do think it is very tough for a boy to get a 6th form place at Westminster. When we looked round for my DD a few years ago, they said they always end up rejecting some excellent male candidates as most of the places go to girls.
