SGHS test - tough one?

Majik - I think after catchment for EGS, the siblings are next ? then distance - unless it has changed ...

yep - same as girls school - catchment, then siblings, then distance.

Absolutely no idea if this is correct, but mrs AfE met someone today who told her the pass mark for the maths paper at SGHS was 54% - which seems very, very low.

She also heard that 6 girls from Water St passed, which makes 24 we know if from 4 schools - 20% of the intake from 4 local schools.

actually of course it is rather more like 60% ... as only about 40 should be from catchment..

So will there be more than 16 from carleton, bradley, gargrave, grassington, cracoe, kettlewell, beamsley, B&P, Parish, St Stephens etc etc + in area kids at out of area schools? ... all very curious.

Nice sums-work, Herm. That's even more amazing when you look at it like that.

I've no idea where she got the 54% from - unless the "fail" letter gave marks and passmarks for each paper. I assumed it'd be an overall mark, standardised.
