St Olaves -How many Private school Vs state school children?

[mamakiso]

Hi want to ask an entirely different question - Is there a pass mark to get into St Olave's? I know Bexley was 254 and Kent varies, but what happens with St Olave's?

Hi mamakiso

There isn't a pass mark as such for St O's. The top 112 boys in rank order are offered places. If there is a tie for 112th place, the candidate with the highest maths score gets the place.

Thanks bondgirl. So it kinda depends on how well everyone does in the exam I guess. Well maths is good, my son's strong point!

Good luck for 1st March mamakiso. Would St O's be your first choice?

PS. Well done to your DS for the Dulwich offer!

[mamakiso]

Yes, St. Olave's is our first choice. We're also on the waitlist for City of London boys with a full bursary. So all fingers and toes crossed and plentiful prayers. Are you waiting for a place this year or next?

[bondgirl]

Next year for us. Keeping everything crossed for you x
