Discussion regarding 2012 results compilation.

If anyone would like to comment on the table please feel free..
To start with:
A quick estimate showed that about 85DCs attained a qualifying score for one or more schools, the total number of qualifying scores on the table is about 220. Therefore on average each DC has about 2.5 qualifying scores.(please correct me if I am wrong.)

Pate's will have 180 qualifying scores and anecdotal evidence from 3 schools suggest the others have between 230-300 scores(average of 265).
So (6x265)+180=1770 qualifying scores.
Approx 800 GS places.

1770/2.5=708 places allocated.

Obviously lots of assumption/estimation but hopefully that means all children who want a GS will get one, and also with a reasonable chance of their first choice

First, thank you to all in helping make sense of the numbers....
but, We do need to remember that only a tiny proportion of results are posted on the forum as most parents ether do not know about the forum or keep the details to themselves. Also most parents whose children did not perform as well as they had hoped will be highly unlikely to post results as most of them will be feeling very disinterested by the whole process at this point in time.

Thanks again to all those who do provide information and advice.
