The following are the marks in the sticky about previous year's pass marks for 2011 and 2012 respectively, followed by the marks as stated in the results letter we received last month (in blue)


KE CAMP HILL BOYS
232, 234 (the same)

KE FIVE WAYS
223, 227 (227 [2011] and 225 [2012])

KE ASTON
217, 216 (215, 216)

BISHOP VESEY (from 2011 entry)
215, 212 (211, 212)

Can anyone explain the discrepancies or is there a mistake in the sticky (or even God forbid......the KEF letter )/ I know the letter states they are the marks initially required for entry. So I would imagine that if they went on to offer places at a later date to people off the waiting list, that last mark in would either remain the same or become lower.

I was about to put the letter away and only just noticed: The 2011 BV mark is 211 (lower than the sticky); the Aston mark for 2011 is also lower at 215 (also lower than the sticky and suggesting the pass mark went up by 1 mark for 2012); the Five Ways mark for 2011 was actually higher at 227 (sticky says 223) and lower at 225 in 2012 (sticky says 227).

Am I missing something or do we need to correct the pass marks in the sticky?

As it was our DD doing the exam, our letter had the pass marks for the girls schools, CHG, KEIVHS and Sutton Girls, which were all the same as the sticky.

The only discrepancy was Five Ways which you have pointed out already.

It's not a misprint my letter is as umsusu states exactly. They dont all match. I actually did notice they didn't match the sticky here on this forum but didn't think to really post anything, should off on reflection!

This is quite interesting - we only get information from parents and there were a number of parents who confirmed and ratified the 2011 scores at the time. See

Also interesting that I changed the 2012 KEFW score recently from 225 to 227 on the Stickly following advice from parent who had a letter from the KE Foundation

Maybe if anyone from the KE Foundation Admissions Offices reads this post they could email or PM the EPE offices with the correct historical and explain the anomaly?

How odd. My letter and scores from the foundation are definatly as umsusu has stated. I did wonder where the 215 for BV had come from tbh but didn't think to voice the issue. I now know from a previous post how important these points are as well!

2012 KEFW is 225 on my letter!

mod - I might switch this one back to 225 on this basis!

All the scores in blue as per umsusu post are same as on my letter, may want to change in due course as well

I definitely checked my letter before posting and if newbiemum has the same letter then that is what they sent out to everyone - besides I doubt they write the whole letter out from scratch. So I would say this is their official stance on first allocations.

On the other hand KenR wrote the sticky based on the feedback he got from parents about what KE had told them. So I guess we need someone from KEF to clarify....... maybe there is a chance that my DS scored the 285 score after all and what I received was a misprint
