Hi, I need some advice. My DD has scored 113.30 in CEM and 351.15 in CSSE. We are based in Gidea Park, Havering, hence Cchs is slightly closer to us than Westcliff and southend grammer schools. I am however unsure if her cem score is high enough for us to list cchs as first preference on the CAF.
Last year, it wouldn't have been enough for a place, at least not whilst people were posting scorers on the forum

If you list any of the CSSE girls' grammar schools second, your DD would definitely get a place with that score, if you don't get CCHS on March 1st. You would then be on the waiting list for CCHS and be able to appeal as well (appeal not a route to rely on, though).
