Re: CEM 2017 Results out
Agree, groups appear to be simply split into thirds. Is this what happened in previous years.
Agree entry requirement may well be higher this year - although believe a good proportion of the extra 60 could be OOC. Looking at previous years entry scores OOC obviously need to attain alot higher - does say 117 as 30th place for OOC equate to a similar position for 30th place IC....in which case could you guess that the ratio is 50:50.
Has anything happened at any of the other potential schools (change in entry requirements etc) than may have resulted in more OOC trying for CCHS???

Re: CEM 2017 Results out
to be honest I have no stake here.
but I know 1 parent who is OC and has score of 119 - no planning to come here
Good luck to your DD.

Re: CEM 2017 Results out
A lot of parents will have asked for their DD's scores to be shared (between CCHS/WCHS/and probably further afield) so not to put all their eggs in one basket. Many ooc girls will have no intention of taking up a CCHS place. That is probably why the numbers sitting the exam seems so high as they all sat on Super Saturday at various locations around England.
There are 150 places for girls now, so the i/c score went down from 106+ (2014 entry - 120 places) to 104+ (2015 entry). The 1st March cut-off will probably be around the 106 mark for ic and 117 for occ with up to 10 places being offered off the waiting list.

Re: CEM 2017 Results out
I don't think anything particular has happened at other schools. It's a trend normally seen with these super selective schools. More numbers and cut throat competitionschoolbook wrote:Agree, groups appear to be simply split into thirds. Is this what happened in previous years.

Re: CEM 2017 Results out
Many congratulations to all the kids who worked hard and scored good marks
Our DD scored 109.65 i/c so pretty confident that she would be offered a place if we apply but, probably we wouldn't
My other daughter goes to SHSG and loves it.. and I am too impressed with the school so would like my DD to join her sister there.
To all, who didn't receive the desired result, I would say there is nothing very special about CCHS or any other grammar school... This all depends on how kids take the challenge and perform in future. I met with a dad yesterday who's son couldn't make to grammar school but in his GCSE's he got 7 A* & 4 A grades.
For me, it all depends on how they focus and perform later on.

mum's looks + dad's brain = 115 i/c for the posh school, common as muck working class Corbyn hating parents!

Re: CEM 2017 Results out
Seems not many parents are sharing their results this year
Re: CEM 2017 Results out
My DD scored 117.54 and we are OOC , very worried as the what would be the cutoff this year. This is our first preference.
