Hi, I received the results of my daughters test at Newstead. It is 227. Does she stand a chance of getting in? Anyone had similar marks and got in?

I have two children there now.
If you are looking at state schools then it will be one of the better ones because of the peers.
If you have closer grammar schools, I don’t think it is worth a much longer journey rather than going to a closer one. I think other grammars are similar. But for us it was our closest so we chose it.

The buildings and facilities are very tired (even compared to many state schools).
Although we are reasonably happy with the school, if private had been an option for us (it wasn’t) then that would be my preference because of the stark difference in resources/facilities.
