The format of e-mail seemed as evasive as ever, when your nerves are shattered it can make words seem very difficult to decipher :lol: a simple passed or not passed would help!

Format was :
Test assessment : The test assessment was *** (score). The minimum score required for a child to be assessed as suitable for admission to a Medway Grammar is : 505.

DD passed too. Very pleased and a huge relief. Pleased that the email was also prompt at 16:02!!

Heard of some close marks just under the pass mark, from a school that sat at Rainham Girls so will be interesting to know how appeals go.

Format is:

The test assessment result is ***. The minimum score required for a child to be assessed as suitable for admission to a Medway grammar school is: 505.
Please wait for your formal assessment decision letter for full details of your child's scores and what to do next.
Then details about closing date for admissions etc.

Well done to all those with marks over 505! Have a lovely celebration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the comments above show why the parent needs to look first - bad enough for them but tricky for the kids to untangle it.... particularly as they sometimes say "this is not an offer of a place" - of course not that happens in march , but can induce panic seeing the words!
