Response from Warks Admissions re last yrs rankings
Posted: Sat Nov 14, 2015 11:24 am
Hi everyone, I wrote this on a post yesterday but felt it warranted its own post.
I bit the bullet yesterday and emailed Warks Admissions regarding the rankings that correlated with the AQS for last year. I got this response the same day:
The lowest score offered Alcester Grammar School for 2015 entry on national offer day was 210.
The ranking for all children residing in the South Priority Circle with this score was 711 out of 1127 (with 26 others on this same ranking).
The ranking for boys residing in the South Priority Circle with this score was 234 out of 556 (with 6 others on this same ranking).
Please note that, due to the shared test with the Grammar Schools in Birmingham, many of the children contained within the overall ranking numbers either may not ultimately preference a Warwickshire grammar school and/or will reside outside the priority areas.
Therefore for those residing within the priority circles, the 'in area' rankings alongside your child's score will be a more reliable indicator when making an application.
I did only ask about AGS, but obviously they are happily disclosing this information if you wanted to ask them about the other GS. Hope that helps done people who felt they were borderline!
