With the significant narrowing of the catchment area for the boys school this year, I would be interested to know whether everyone for whom this school is their sole catchment school succeeded in getting a place at the first allocation stage.
It is difficult to tell the overall picture until the 'final' allocation information is published in the next Secondary transfer booklet - places may well be declined.
There was a least one boy that I know of who did not get an ofer from Challoners when that was there only catchment school. As they are very close to the area taken I would expect that they will eventually gain a place through the waiting list.
