12+ Late Transfer
Can anyone advice me on the 12+ late transfer and any help and information from anyone whose children have sat for this exam in the past, will be much appreciated.

The 12+ seems to be a moveable feast as far as places in Bucks GS go.
The most important thing before you get revved up about the 12+ is what schools would you be hoping for and are they your catchment schools.
Some schools have some places available at 12+ whereas others are fully booked and despite some of us having success with transfer appeals after the 12+ it is not a route which guarantees a place even after your DC has passed the 12+.

Hi SN
Please exercise considerable caution on the 12+ this coming year.
There are going to be no spare places at all for boys in South Bucks, because there has been an over-subscription problem for this year's Year 7. Wycombe also appears to have problems. It is only in the north of the county that you might have a good chance of getting a place.
I will amend the 12+ thread to that effect shortly, and I will continue to amend the Sticky as new information becomes available. (Any edits will be flagged as new posts from now on, given the tricky situation 12+ parents face over the next year.)

Hello! All
Thank you so much for all the advice and your replies. I am hoping to try for Chesham High as I dont live in Buckinghamshire and only Chesham High does not have any catchment restrictions.
Tried for the 11+ but missed by a few marks unfortunately. Feeling really down about it. I feel that the additional few months will help my son to perform better this time. According to the website Chesham had around 50 places last year for 12+ entries.
Does anyone know if they too look at distance when it comes to 12+.
Anymore information and help would be appreciated as I am not very farmilier with the rules of that area.
