Waiting list - in-year application

Has anyone gotten through to a Bexley grammar school via a waiting list??

My child is now on the waiting list for the current Year 7 after passing the in-year selection test recently. Just trying to gauge her chances!

Any comments appreciated! :D

Hi Happy happy joy,

I am in your exact situation...my boy just passed the in year selective test. I wonder how it all works!!

Any comments on this from experienced parents would be appreciated.

I think it is hard to say to tbh especially for year 7 as there is likely to be a waitinglist already. I would say that at this stage there is probably not going to be that much movement, however some people may still move out of the area. It is then very much a question of if the people already on the list are still interested in the place or not.

I would say the best thing to do is phone the schools you have applied for and find out where you are on the waitinglist.

Good luck!
