Which Barnet Primary Schools located within 3 miles of the Henrietta Barnett School have consistently sent their girls to HBS in the recent years?

Girls who live within a 3mi radius of the school have preferences, along with LAC and, I think, girls who are eligible for pupil premium. The admissions process involves two rounds of exams. Only the top 300 scoring girls in the first exam are allowed to take the second exam. In the final rankings, girls who made the top 300 and are in the preferred categories (LAC, PP, 3mi radius) are ranked ahead of all the others, regardless of their score in the second exam. A girl in a preferred category who qualified for the second exam could turn in blank paper with just her name on it and she would be ranked ahead of a girl with a perfect paper who was not in a preferred category.

In case you're interested, from a FOI request, "Of the top 300 students in Entrance tests for 22-23, there are 33 who live within a 3-mile radius. Of those 14 were in the top 104 and would therefore have been successful even if they had lived further away."

Thank you for this FOI link- very fascinating stats. I am surprised only 10% of the girls come within the catchment and from another FOI in the site a lot come from HA postcodes (one year was 25% or something). The ethnicity data was also something that really interested me (on the FOI I was reviewing almost 80% of year 10 were of one ethnic background group)
