Do you mean Wilmington Grammar for boys? If so, they don't go on scores except that they offer 10% of places to the highest scorers (which is 12 boys) then they go on distance regardless of score.

No, apart fom the top 10%, they go on distance not score. Last year they offered out to about 6 miles.

Just to clarify, I checked with the school today. After the usual looked after boys, statemented needs and siblings, they then take 10% (12 boys) with the highest scores from those have applied. Last year this was scores between 420 and 409. And after that they take on distance, regardless of score; last year was 6 miles.
