SLOUGH RESULTS 2020 (for 2021 entry)

[gv0019]

HI, My daughter has score 123, and we have Upton and St Bernard school as the choices in CAF. Is there any probability of my DD to get Upton ? We are approx 9-10 miles out of Upton's location, so OOC probably.

Harking back to earlier posts referring to the Admissions Policy and data relating to admissions this September, after LAC / PP / primary schools on same trust / children of staff etc, the next up to 120 places are offered purely in rank order of score and last year the last place in that category was offered to an alicante with a score of 120. So if this year were last year, your DD would have been offered a place on the basis of her score and the fact that you livevso far from the school would have been irrelevant. However, every year, the cohort of applicants is a new one; this year, the distribution of scores in the cohort of Upton Court applicants might be quite different and a score of 123 might be pushed into the 'ranked on distance' category, or possibly, the cut-off score may be lower and that score might be more secure.

Unfortunately, you will only know for certain on March 1st.
