On the other thread there was mention of Herschel school thinking of adding new route to Reading. However we can confirm this only after mid-term break so too late for CAF.

Hi everyone.

I wonder, is there a route to Langley Grammar from Sudbury Hill/Harrow?
I am new to the forum and just looking around for the options. Please could you advice?

Many thanks.

We live in Reading and I understand that few kids based in Reading/Earley get through to Grammar schools in Slough.

I am not a catholic, so St Bernard may not be a possibility but interested in Herschel mainly (for Sept 2017 entry).

Do they need to score more marks in the CEM 11plus as they are based far away from the school? or
Is it that they have to be over the normal cut-off and then it is based on the distance from school?

There is a sticky post at the top of this section with links to all the Slough admissions info. It is different for each school so you need to look at the one you are aiming for.
I think Herschel admits 70 based on highest scores and then start taking into account distance from school

Yes, you are right - it says on the school website.

I have seen data related to OoC distance from Bucks grammar schools where places were offered in the previous years, can I get the similar info for Herschel? Any links will be helpful.

I updated this post some time ago with historic data for the Slough schools.
