BUCKS SECONDARY ALLOCATION PROFILES 2006 - 2016

[bucks_d]

Hi All,
Can you please let me know what does
"OA to 10.455" mean?

Thanks

I believe it means out of catchment to 10.445 miles. I presume 'OA' means Out of Area?

I have now updated my spreadsheet to include this year's first round allocations, and it can be viewed here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4secvz8qh4bhi ... .xlsx?dl=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Hi, Do you have updated spreadsheet for 2016 admissions where upto how many rounds places and were allocated places?

[Sally-Anne]

I haven't got around to updating the spreadsheet, but rest assured that it is on the "to do" list.

For the two schools you are interested in, the distances as at the 3rd round (12th May) were:

Chesham Grammar: Up to 12.092 miles (was 11.787 on 1st March)

DCHS: 9.975 miles as at 1st March (additional offers were made to lesser distances in the 2nd and 3rd rounds - they would have been late applicants)

Sally-Anne please could you confirm the allocation distance is it "door to door".
Distance from the school door to applicant door.

[Sally-Anne]

The distance will be from a given point at the school (usually the main entrance gate) to the applicant's front door.

Don't all cheer at once, but I have finally got around to updating last year's allocation profile.

The last dated profile was 12th May, and there was very little change to any of the schools in the 10 weeks after National Allocation Day. Maybe that's why I wasn't terribly motivated to get on with the job! <yawns>

Anyway, the revised spreadsheet is linked to in the first post on this thread.

Hi, I have been thinking of moving to Bucks in Dec this year as my DD has passed her Bucks exam with flying colours but need help with regards to whether this would be a good move considering the fact that I will not be allocated a place in the first round as I do not fall in the catchment of Wycombe girls. Does anyone have an idea about how many kids got in last year in the second allocation I.e in March? Else is there anyway of talking to the council and presenting a case to them saying we will be moving there as soon as possible? Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanksxx

You can't apply for a place until you have a Bucks address - admissions won't be prepared to talk to you before that.

It is risky - what is the back-up plan if she doesn't get a GS place?

Salky- Anne states above that the allocation profiles moved very little after March 1st. This means that the schools were full on March 1st. There will have been some movement after that if people chose to go private or moved out of the area, but as G55 says, it's very risky.
