Which is the best Grammar school in the area?
Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2011 11:13 pm
Looking at the minimum qualifying marks:
King Edward and Stratford Grammar = 335
Alcester = 329
Lawrence Sheriff = 303
Rugby High = 303
Ashlawn Selective Stream = 301
Does anyone know which school takes the children with the highest scores?
I read Cherrypicker's comments, and fair play to him/her.
The discussion was informative and it is clear Lawrence Sheriff is top at GCSE level because of the sheer
number of GCSEs undertaken and that does not really mean it is the best. There is no indication of
grades achieved.
At "A" level, which is more important, Stratford easily beats Lawrence Sheriff (LS), but LS is non-selective by then.
On the basis of 11+ intake, does anyone have any data which school takes the brighest children?
Each boy and girl can enter 4 grammar schools as preferences.
But, I want to list them on the basis of the ones that take the best and brightest on the basis of 11+ results.
I accept all schools are very good,or even outstanding. But what is the order on the basis of 11+ score intake?
Am I correct that for a boy this is:
King Edward > Alcester > Lawrence Sheriff > Ashlawn?
For a girl this is:
Stratford > Alcester > Rugby High > Ashlawn?
I agree with Cherrypicker that the comparison should compare the same number of students.
But with Rugby, it is more complex because of the eastern area split system which means
it is not a straight competition of highest scores. It is skewed because of one area being contained
within another and thus complex.
If anyone has concrete statistics, please post them.
Thanks
