The other consideration on Judd's cut off scores is Skinners new admission policy. As scores are so much higher this year more boys are going to qualify for Skinners who traditionally wouldn't have been considered super selective. If they take up the places at Skinners it will have a knock on effect on Judd, with less "super selective" places available it will push up the scores needed to get into Judd even higher than they have historically been.
That would be my guess anyway, not that I am in any way an expert on the matter!
Although the main effect of Skinners’ taking boys that might not have gained a super selective place previously will be on the boys living in Sevenoaks and beyond who score between 370 (40 points above grammar threshold) and the Judd cut off score. They would have been allocated a super selective school in previous years, but are unlikely to get one for 2020.
