There seems to be some confusing statements going around. I have a letter saying offers sent out to 114 and above in round one. I have heard some kids with scores of 115, 118 not receving offers from Herschel in round one.
Is there anyone with scores above 113 who have not received offers from herschel as the 1st choice.
Thanks.

Hi
My son got 118 and got an offer letter. These have to be returned by 12th March (Wed) so I suspect they will send the 2nd round out later in the week.
Not much help I know but if you are waiting for a place good luck.
Sue.

The only reason I can imagine people not receiving offers from Herschel with a suitable score would be whether or not Herschel was 1st Preference on the consortium form. If you scored 115 and put Langley as 1st Pref and Herschel as 2nd pref NEITHER SCHOOL WILL OFFER A PLACE.
The heads at both schools were adamant on open evenings that they only ever make offers to scoring pupils who list their school as 1st preference.
This is one of the reasons I believe Slough pulled out of the consortium as their system was not fair on pupils taking the tests.

I have heard today that there are 54 children on the Herschel waiting list.
And I know of several children who didn't get a place because this school was placed lower on the CAF form.
