What happens if a number of children score 325/ 330 for exam

[KenR]

New to this so hope you don't mind me asking but if some of children who scored 325 for girls school for example and got placed on waiting list and the lowest eventual accepted mark was 309, do those children on waiting list with 325 take places elsewhere hence the last accepted score being lower at 309. (Referring to last year)
Hope that makes sense

That is exactly what tends to happen - many parents on the waiting list will decline a late offer (not wishing to disrupt the child as they may already have had sampler days) and so hence the final pass score can drop dramatically as you get towards Sept (or beyond). They why I would not read too much into the final accepted score in late summer.

Thank you for that . I wrongly thought that depending on number of applicants that a girl with 330 would pretty much be safe with regards to QM- offer on day being 316 last year I think. Will have to just keep fingers crossed but appreciate your reply.

You are very much safe if your dd scored 330 for Queen Mary girls, the cut off last year was 316 on offer day and not much has changed. Provided the school is your number one preference on your LEA form you should receive your offer.
