If any parent has a legitimate reason to speak to the KE Foundation Office, perhaps because they didn't get their 1st choice grammar, could they try to find out this year's pass marks for the 5 KE Grammar schools and post in the Birmingham forum.

I've got the figures for Sept 2005 & 2006 entry which I have collated into a graph, but it would be nice to add this year pass marks and share with next year's parent's.

The foundation office will share these figures with parents who have a reason to know.

Aston school

Hi Ken,

What is your view regarding Aston school compared with Five Ways adn Camp Hill?

The reason I ask is that we have been offered a place at Aston as well as KES and need to make a choice (funding aside).

Hi Dr S

Don't know that much about KE Aston as we didn't apply last year and don't have any friends whose children attend. However I think it's fair to say that all of the KE school are very good.

I would suggest that you contact the school and ask if you can visit next week before making your mind up. We were in the same situation as your last year with KES and KE Five Ways and the school were very helpful and allowed us a visit during the school day. There were about 3 sets of parents/children in our group. We found it very helpful. We even managed to get 15 mins at the end with the head.

Worth a phone call and visit.

Regards

Ken
