Re: RGS
Last year pass mark was 508 and according to the Admissions Document the lowest score was 513. But I think they have also increased their PAN by 10 this year so that should have an impact on the score needed.

Re: RGS
And I know the year before , so this years Year 8 , they took a girl who didn't pass as the head teacher said this at his talk when we visited last year . My daughter has just started RGS and loves it ! Bit mental on the homework front , easing them in was 15 pieces of homework in the first week but luckily she is used to homework so it wasn't too much of a shock to her .
But that said ALL the schools we visited were brilliant , they really all are on par with each other I thought but this is obviously my own personal opinion .

Re: RGS
I wouldn't imagine it would be too many in excess of the pass mark - we know one child who got the pass mark for this years intake but sadly the appeals said she was the 10th and they only let 9 in or something like that...but for your sanity, 1st round in is always preferable!
Re: RGS
The threshold isn't as high as youi might expect, and even when a child scores the pass mark or just misses the mark they can still get in on appeal.
My daughter started this September and loves it. There is a mix of year groups in the form so they have the older girls to rely on for support. Homework is just starting to build up but it's all manageable.
