Hi Mum
Based on the figures for the last couple of years, your daughter should be fairly certain of getting a place at Burnham. They actually had nearly 50 vacancies in this year's Year 7 intake!
It is just possible that you may have to wait for the second round of allocations to get a place if you are not in catchment for Burnham.
Please note that for Bucks, the actual score makes no difference whatsoever to the school place allocations - 121 is as good as 141. The primary deciding factor is distance from school gates.

slightly pedantic I know BUT deciding factor is catchment first and distance within catchment and only then distance from school out of catchment. We are in catchment though quite a distance away in Iver Heath but will come before people who may actually live closer but are out of catchment.
