Is it true the majority of intakes in recent years has been boys? Considered it for my daughter this year but put off by ratio of boys : girls. Otherwise liked the school.

They wont know this years ratio yet as there is still a lot of waiting list movement imminent. My ds is in y8 and has 6 girls in his class of 26.

So what I heard was right. 26:6
Makes me wonder why though.

I understand they wouldn't be able to tell this years ratio. I am hoping some forum members will reply if not about their own kids maybe somebody they know whose daughter may have got in or is in waiting list.

It's around 70/30 boys. One form this year 7 is 22/8 boys/girls. Two girls I know love it there and I do not hear much negative feedback that the girls are unhappy. 30% is over 300 girls in the school. Don't be put off its a great school.

Official figures off bbc website for school role is 67/33. Think 6th form might be more equal and lower down the school more boys orientated. Not sure.

No. 6 girls plus 20 boys.

Ah! Get it! It's a class of 26.
Thank you!

As said, the 6th form distorts the overall figures. You can find year on year figures on the DoE website somewhere.
