Does KE give priority to siblings?
Posted: Sat May 30, 2009 1:11 pm
Hello everyone, I'm a brand new member and my eldest son will be taking the KE, Bishop Vesey, Handsworth and Queen Mary's exams this Autumn 09.
I wanted to ask if anyone could clarify the admission arrangements for KE?
I had understood that they admitted pupils on the basis of test scores, and if there was a tie, then on who lived closest.
However I was told by someone that they prioritise siblings first and that this year, 60 of the boys in KE Camp Hill were siblings! Is this an urban myth? Please can someone clarify for me?
Do the other grammars operate sibling policies at all?
Many thanks.
