My child sat the Trafford Consortium 11+ this year for UGS and SGS. He achieved a higher score for SGS, but was only offered a local review for UGS. I'm puzzled as to why. His score for SGS was 310 and 307 for UGS. Is it worth doing the local review? He only needs to pass as is in category 1 and does have extenuating circumstances.
Hope someone can advise me.
If you go on the Urmston Grammar School website, their admissions policy and booklet about "admission arrangements" tell you about Local Review. They don't mention a minimum score, so it seems as though anyone who didn't achieve the qualifying score can ask for a Local Review (which is different to Sale). It says they look at the score, the invigilator's report, the Special Circumstances form (if you sent one in) and "any other documents".
Someone else is probably more knowledgeable than me, but I don't think you have anything to lose?
