Louise that score is only for STRS, in previous years that would have secured a place.

STR - My son also got a disappointingly low result, so unlikely to pass for Crypt.

Do most parents tick for all the schools like we did?

He did take 11+ in another area as well so be interesting to see how he did there. A supose a good 11+ result from another area would be good evidence in an appeal.

The cut off score at STRS for the past few years, 2011 was 210, 2010 was 215, 2009 was 222. So my DS's 223 is truly in the twilight zone, but I'm hoping that as it was a low birthrate year for Gloucestershire the cut off should be lower rather than higher.

EJ I don't think you should be considering twilight zone for a score of 223. I would be extremely shocked if your DS did not have an offer for STRS. Just relax now, your DS has done enough. Mumofin your son will have a STRS offer with 234 and can't be that far off a Pates place either if you have ticked for that school. Look back on the scores/places sticky from last year.

Commiserations to anyone with a disappointing result. Cyber hugs to you.

Best wishes to all of you still biting your nails. x

Thanks for the advice. As my DS was the first of my 4 children to go through this process (yikes, not sure I can face doing this all over again, let alone another 3 times!!) I really wasn't sure what our scored qualified him for. The heavy disclaimer about a qualifying score not neccessarily meaning a guaranteed place is a little un-nerving but happy to say your reassurances can safely mean a large celebratory glass of vino this evening (for me-not DS! Ha ha).
