Hi Just out of interest does anyone know what the cut off for Chelmsford County High School for Girls was this year?

I don't know for this year but it is normally somewhere around the 150 mark. I think I told someone on another thread to phone the CSSE and they would have the answer but actually I think it is probably the admissions dept who will know. Hope that helps.

I called CSSE today re ColCHS. They told me the cutoff for the initial allocation was 157.

Might be worth a call.

For those of you who are interested I have just phoned the CSSE office who informed me that the cut off for Chelmsford County High School was about 175 this year!

Similar to KEGs and much, much higher than the previous 3 years that I have been watching the forum and numbers were down on last year for those trying for CCHS. Interesting.....and hope for those on waiting lists.

Thanks for that.
My daughter was ranked early 120's and on Monday I was panicking thinking she wouldn't get in. We got our letter on Tuesday and I was over the moon.

It's good to know that you can be ranked less than 120 and still get in. Hope this information will give a bit of hope to those on the waiting list.

Anyone know the cut off for CCHS (Chelmsford) to be more than 140th?

Alexandra, I think the above came from official sources and would seem therefore that cut off was much higher than 140.

Oops thank you - missed that one!!! Is this usual or is it lower?? Approximately (I know it changes) does the cut off usually stand in previous years?

In my experience just over the two separate years mine went in, the cut off for initial allocation is much , much lower by about 30 places.
However we are talking very little difference in exam scores.It is scarily tight and the child that came 175th still did very well.Also it is standardised to reflect any variation in papers.
So well done to anyone who got in wherever they came.
