Dartford Grammar School - Out of Dartford Places - Distance

Does anyone know over the last few years what the lowest score has been to secure one of the 90 out of Dartford places?

Distance only appears to kick in as a tie breaker presumably after the 90 places have been filled. We're about 8.5 miles away...

Think it was 384 last year for DGS and that was after the April reshuffle.

These are for the year children started. So, 387 was the score needed last year, on the first round in March 2017 for this September 2017 start.

We won't know the required scores until March 2018 for those who took the test this year.

For 2016 entry to Dartford Grammar for Girls (appreciate this thread may be focusing on the boys school) when the numbers were slightly different but the concept of places going to siblings still applies I got the following message from the admissions officer:

It is unlikely that there will be 60 places left for out of county candidates, as, in addition to the 100 places reserved for local children, some places will go to siblings. In the past this has been in the region of 20 places. If some of the OOC offers are refused, we will continue down our ranked list of OOC applicants until all our places are filled. Likewise, if some of the 100 local offers are refused, we will continue down our list of local children.

Oh, that is for the girl's school!
Dartford Grammar for boys offers 90 places for local children and the other 90 for OOC.
