Dr challoner desirable and Pinner Post code = no chance ??
Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2012 1:23 am
Hi
I am new to this forum and the 11+ exams. We have just returned back home after 5 years abroad ( yes timing sucks according to my son, and rightly so) and still trying to come to grips with various LA's, councils and different rules.
We live in Pinner, HA5 post code. Our desirable schools are Dr challoner, QE Boys and Watford grammar. My DS is considered a bright young man and the independent school he goes to says that he is good chance in all schools.
I need a reality check here. Is it at all possible for him to get ( assuming he gets the desired scores) Dr Chall ?? On their website it says distance of 11.8 miles.
I also realised that I was to have applied before 4 pm of 7th Sep . I applied 12.30 am 8/09/2012. Hoping that he will still get the chance to sit for the exam.
One more clarification please. What happens in case of the following scenario:
We give QE as first and Watford as second preference. We dont get the desired score at QE but Watford.
Do we get Watford grammer or are we refused admission as they were not our first preference.
Please anyone ?? Any advice
Life was so simple when my elder one went to secondary.
