latymer, catchment area and CAF preference

[Pkaboo]

Latymer will only offer top 192 ranked candidates, but there are a lot of applicants who are out of catchment, and applicants who score highly at other schools and select another school as a higher preference. Just wondering if anyone in top 200, 300 or 400 or even 650, in catchment, and who will be choosing to Latymer.

My ds is in top 300 in-catchment and is his first choice. Hope that after the out-catchment removed and people who select another school are taken into consideration, he will get an offer

Hi @Pkaboo, never say never but you are likely safe if in the top 300. Once the out of catchment kids are removed, the list almost halves and that's before the kids who choose other state grammars or independent schools are removed from the list.

Have you looked at the elevenplusexams.co.uk for North London? There are many threads on this every year.

Thanks notanum. I have looked but not really much discussion about rankings this year so thought might have more joy here

there were 318 out of area for latymer
