My daughter scored 111 for the Herschel 11 plus we live right on the doorstep of herschel will she definately get a place in the distance criteria with this mark
It looks as if you have a place...... there are 50 ( less looked after or SEN) places available that are measured on distance as long as you have achieved 111 or higher3. Where the number of pupils who have achieved the required standard in the tests by gaining an overall score of 111 or more exceeds the number of places available, places will be allocated according to the following oversubscription criteria in this order of priority:
(i) Looked After Children who have reached the required standard;
(ii) pupils with special educational needs (where written evidence is supplied from a recognised authority specialising in the particular needs of the pupil) who have or in the view of Governors should have reached the required standard;
(iii) the next 70 pupils in rank order of performance in the tests;
(iv) proximity to the school. Distance will be measured in a straight line from the front door of the child’s home address (including flats) to the main entrance gate of the school, using Slough’s Geographical Information System (GIS), with those closer to the school receiving the higher priority.
