Bucks grammar school eligibility for Berks kids

Post by target14 »

Please can some one confirm whether kids (2015 entry) staying in Winkfield are eligible for any Bucks grammar school or not? Any thoughts of Burnham or any other Bucks school eligibility.

Thanks in advance.

Everyone is eligible if they achieve 121 in the exam, then it's down to the school's criteria (distance largely). Burnham used to be "all offered" so children could get in from anywhere. It is more popular now so I'm not sure children would get in from Winkfield but it's worth a try if you think the journey is worth it (if you have good local schools, I don't think it is, just to go to a grammar).
