KE Schools - 2010 Exam Pass Percentile

I've updated the sticky at the top this B/Ham section with the 2010 'last candidate' pass scores for ref.

I've also shown below the candidate percentile target a child would have to reach to be successful in the exam for a particular school. This is calculated by taking the average age standardised score percentile (rounded up)

These are:

2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010

KE CAMP HILL BOYS
347, 341, 343, 346, 351, 353
2010 percentile 89%

KE FIVE WAYS
330, 329, 328, 330, 333, 336
2010 percentile 80%

KE CAMP HILL GIRLS
323, 329, 321, 325, 330, 328
2010 percentile 74%

KE ASTON
324, 327, 324, 328, 328, 331
2010 percentile 77%

KE HANDSWORTH GIRLS
317, 319, 318, 317, 319, 321
2010 percentile 70%

As you can see it's really tough to get a place in a B/Ham KE grammar and particularly so for boys. It follows that a lot of very bright children unfortunately did not get places this year.

This may be of interest to parents.
