Any updates on waiting list from Wilson’s , Sutton this year ?
Seems unlike every year , there has been quite a bit of movement in Wilson’s this year in spite of them offering seats more than their intake initially .
Any updates on Sutton and Wallington ?

If you're in a priority postcode area you get an IC (in catchment) ranking as well as an OOC (out of catchment) ranking. If you're outside the priority postcode area, you only have an OOC ranking.

So is that actually one list that only IC boys can be on, which is taken from if the space vacated is IC, with another list that all boys are ranked on? Surely if there is a division of addresses into IC and OOC, each address is either in one or the other?

Does the policy say something like; first x places allocated on score only to those IC, then the rest of the places allocated on score, regardless on place of residence (so IC boys not in the top x would still be eligible for one of the 'rest of' the places)?

For Sutton Grammar School, it is other way round. First x places to open list and then remaining places to IC applicants. As such, an IC candidate would be higher in IC WL than open list WL. For example, 2nd in IC WL is 14th in open WL.

Another peculiarity is SGS banding policy. Effectively, there would be much higher number of IC candidates in school than it would seem, as high scoring IC could get places from open list. Also in the last band for open list, IC would get preference.
