Just rang BCC, still stuck on 20 :|

Rang Sutton school to see if I could get any info from them. They said all dealt with by BCC. So we are in there hands. Just does seem strange that this is the only school with no movement.
HGS boys also hasnt had any movements!

Hi all,

I am assuming KEHS, EHS and other independent girls school will be having a full cohort of students starting in September. I understand not all girls going to those schools will have sat the Birmingham and Walsall Grammar school tests but a fair amount would have with good outcomes. This surely would have released some capacity in the Birmingham grammar schools by now.

Only if the parent actually lets the relevant body know that the state school place is no longer required.

Something strange is going on!

I don't think there has been any movement on CHB list (different information being given about offering over PAN this year)

FW list has moved by 41 places, which should!d have some impact on other lists, but doesn't seem to have.

A while ago someone posted that KES was taking less pupils this year, maybe that is true, so maybe that is why CHB list isn't moving as more are having to take their GS offer.

It would be good to get a definitive answer from someone.

My son sat for KES. I don't know if it helps but when they wrote with the outcome, they said there were 125 places for 2018 entry. I don't know how this compares to previous years.

Looked at KES GCSE examination results for the last 3 years. The cohort is around 120 each year.
It seems they will have the same cohort numbers as in previous years.

Hi all

Just called BCC this morning DD has moved from 15th to 14th today for SCGSG.
Another slight movement in the right direction.

They must have been hoarding the information let’s hope it continues
