child got a good score ranking for grammars in gloucestershire as we lived there before divorce in 2015.
So I tried there too.
Would like people from both areas to give me feedback on this. If possible.
I live in Birmingham and we are in the catchment for five ways but pass - no priority score.
I wonder if I should try and appeal for a place here, rather then allocate back to Gloucester in 2020, it would be a lot of hassle as a single parent so would like to check what people have experienced.
child scores was 464 for crypt and 273 for STRS, so he might not need pp for Gloucester. in case he does, i would like to hear from other people with similar experiences.
It sounds like Crypt may be your best bet?

Where are you based yourself, for your course?
