I have received FOI acknowledement from Kendrick saying information will be sent no later than 21st November (20 school days). I will share in this forum as soon as I have it.

Kudos to everyone who have put this forum together. In the data that Tinker has collected a sizeable number of students are from outside the catchment/designated area. Do these students have any chance of getting admission in the school? I ask this question as we are just half a mile outside the northern fringe of the catchment, so we have either to decide to move into the area or stay where we are and take a chance. Also how stringent is the check on the address being the main home etc. We still have over a year to plan. Thanks!

Since the catchment was introduced, no one from outside catchment has got a place. They have plenty of in catchment girls to fill all the places and still have plenty who have qualified on the waiting list.

If you really want Kendrick, then you need to move into catchment by the time you apply for the test. Otherwise there is little point having your DD take the test. I suspect many of those ooc taking the test are actually girls sitting at Slough and sharing their score with kendrick. It is no extra effort part apart from registering with both the Slough consortium and Kendrick and the girls only do the one test.

Btw Reading council have been very keen to deal with address fraud in the past and take it seriously. I know of a family who moved into catchment of a popular primary school, got a place and promptly moved out again. They were told if they didn't move back in they would be investigated as being a possible fraudulent application.

Thanks very much for your very quick response. I was wondering why so many ooc girls would appear for this test when there is a sizeable catchment. I also take your point on moving in to the catchment :)

There are also some that don't bother checking what the admissions rules are before putting their girls in for the test and are then a bit miffed when they find out afterwards.

Well done.

Do you have the number of OCC students within first 100 and 150 ranks ?

That will ease out uncertainty among many parents

Isn't in or out of catchment indicated by the 'yes' / 'no' against the scores in the FOI response? You just need to tot then up, in that case.
