Hi came across this.....as a guide maybe?
We now have data from KCC so we have done a quick comparison with last years data - these are very rough calculations so please take them with a pinch of salt! Particularly in the case of the out of area scores for Judd and TOGS where the sample size is tiny.
Making the assumptions (as we did last year), that the scores are distributed in a similar way geographically (east to west), and that children apply for schools in similar proportions as last year, we can look at the numbers and predict where the cut off for the superselectives is likely to be.
If we get more data we may be able to improve on these predictions.
Initial cut-offs:
The Judd School in area 367
The Judd School out of area 400
The Skinners' School 370
TOGS in area 369 - this may be closer to 366 because of the extra class they are taking.
TOGS out of area 386
Dartford Grammar OOA 381
DGGS OOA 366
Please be aware that these are very rough, but it does look like a small increase across the board when compared with last year. Final cut offs are often slightly lower than initial cut offs.
Please, always put the schools in your true order of preference.
Thank you, very interesting! My son scored 383 and Dartford has been his first choice - would have been below the initial cut last year. We were going to put it down anyway but nice to think he could make the first cut perhaps.
