Parmiter's School

4 replies

Hi,
we have applied for Parmiter's but my daughter's 11+ results are lower than 200. However, we live within the school's priority postcode (WD4).
I went through the admission criteria and still unsure if my child has a chance to get into the school?
Thank you for any thoughts.

How close do you live? Realistically she doesn't stand a chance under the academic criteria but if you are within a KM she might under distance.

Thank you for your reply. We live in Kings Langley, 4948 meters away from Parmeter’s. So, chances to get into this school are very low, I guess.

I would say your chances are slim to none. You need to be less than a km away historically to get a place based purely on location. Then factor in more people choosing state for secondary due to VAT on private fees and that it’s a highly sought after school.

Kings Langley School is fabulous though - you’re very lucky to have it as an option.

DibbleDooDah, thank you. Agree with you. We put Kings Langley school as our second choice. Hopefully, we'll get a space if no chances with Parmiters.
