364 pass mark what chance a place at Grammer
Son got 118 118 128 364 passmark, What are the chances of a grammer school place?
The closest schools are Judd, Skinners. I've read on here 414, 406 respectivily are needed.
is it worth naming these and go on the waiting list?
Oakwood, Maidstone, twgsb are also close by. Anybody know the score required for this?
cheers

Hello! I'm afraid these scores arent high enough for Judd or Skinners as they need to be in the 400's.
If you are within say, 3 miles of TWGSB you should in theory get a place there but there are no guarentees as the closer you are, generally the better chance you have of getting a place.
If you decide on TWGSB i think you will increase your chance by putting this first on your form.
I assume you have visited the schools you mention - do you have a preference?

I agree judd and skinners probably are not worth putting on the form.
I have not visited ANY schools as
a) I submitted son very last minute.
b) Had no tutor training
c) got 11+ papers and he only averaged 64% on vr and nvr, but 92% on maths
Hence thought he would not pass. (Dont tell him that !)
Any one know the pass mark of Oakwood?
We are about 5miles crow flies to twgbs

Marsbar, just in case you weren't aware, you can appeal to any school, so say you wanted Judd for your son, you can list it on your CAF and then appeal in March.
Personally, I would list the schools in the order that I wanted them, but I would put a safe option down, so in your case it would be Oakwood, this way it might stop you getting a GS miles away.
