Looking for help wrote:Can someone explain to me what a super selective school is ?
Thanks

My definition is one that selected purely on the result of a test, has no catchment and is highly overscribed (e.g. >10:1)

Would agree for GS but the super selective inde's have a lenghty interview and many have the kids in for a couple of hours in a classroom environment to sift out the heavily coached. Then there is the school report which I assume GS don't ask for?
