In 2017 5380 sat the exam, and approx. 6000 registered prior. Thus there was a significant number who did not attend. Regards.
Thanks for clarifying "Daddy Cool"

I went to the WHSB enquiry visit this afternoon. Although the Head wouldn't be specific about numbers, he said that if an in catchment boy who had scored 303 put both Southend Grammars on his CAF, then he would almost definitely get a place.

I took that to mean, that as in previous years, not enough in catchment boys scored 303 or above to fill all the in catchment places at SHSB and WHSB.

So there will hopefully be some extra places available for OOC boys!

That's great news for the in catchment lot. How did you get that figure? Direct from CSSE?

Crazy to think that around 1,000 other passes come from OOC.
