The last score in notified by a forum member will be in Blitz's Collated cut offs thread near the top of the index for the Essex section of the forum (I.e. this bit ).

Eta, for the horse's mouth figure, you could try asking the school?

I went to the presentation at WHSG last Thursday.

Last year for out of catchment, pupils out of the priority catchment area needed 337.4, however there was some movement between 1st March and 31st August and the last place offered to an out of priority area child was for 333.

He suggested this year it could be as low as 327.

Hope that helps.

Sorry , that was pretty all the info I got for OOC as we are IC the questions being asked weren’t relevant to us and we left soon after x

Don’t wish to put a downer on it but last year he said similar and that he thought it would go below guidance sheet and he estimated 329 (my daughter was 328.751 OOC), obviously it didn’t go anywhere near. That said she got a place at SHSG and I now realise it’s a better fit for her personally so I’m actually relieved! (Had she scored the same this year, looking at somone else with the same marks she would have scored 348! It was meant to be I think)
Like both schools just a personal opinion.

You clearly can't be comparing last years paper to this year. Last years' maths is the easiest on record and this year the hardest by the looks of it.

I wasn’t comparing papers (though that’s the first I’ve heard that the maths was the easiest on record as everyone commented how easy the English was!) I was merely stating how different the standardisation can be as it was different by 20 marks. Obviously it wasn’t age standardised either.
