Wallington, Newstead/Nonsuch on CAF
Posted: Mon Oct 21, 2013 11:21 am
Hi
My DD has cleared Wallington test but they did not inform the scores or the cut off. We are in catchment area for Wallington. She has cleared Nonsuch and Newstead wood as well but didn’t score very well. Nonsuch she has scored total 213(Eng and VR) and Newstead wood total 203 (VR and NVR). We are in catchment for newstead wood but outside for Nonsuch. Based on Historic data cut off for Newstead wood is around 218/219 (although I am not pretty sure if this is consistent over the years or changes). Nonsuch we do not know what the cut-off is going to be this year as this is the first year after they changed the tests introducing English with no NVR test.
I am pretty sure to list Wallington as first choice on CAF but unable to decide between Newstead/ Nonsuch for second and third choice.
Does anyone know from their experience what has been the cut off for Newstead wood last year. Only advantage we have for newstead wood is that we are in the catchment area but her score is far less than what the cutoff given. Nonsuch her score is not good enough to be in first 80 as we are outside catchment. Any chance of her getting a place in Newstead with her score?
Would be grateful for any feedback/suggestions.
Many Thanks
