Hi Everyone
Please help me in understanding this school admission jargon.
My son has scored 220 in 11+ exam and we are in southern priority circle living in CV5.
We plan to give first priority to AGS followed by LS and then kenilworth school. Is it something which looks good choice although we are still undecided with other state schools.
Will living in southern priority circle effect our chances to get into LS if he does not make a cut for AGS.
Thanks
I would be worried about this. I think you need to study the process for allocating grammar and other schools so you understand the process and the risks and options for your son. Members of this forum can explain jargon if you are unfamiliar with some of the terminology. If you don't understand the process you.may.nake the wrong decision.
Hopefully the AQS for AGS for last year is published here. That will give you an indication of whether 220 will be good enough this year. However without the southern ranking there is a lot of confusion so note that this will be an indication and not certainty.
Living in the southern sector will make entry to LSS more difficult but.not impossible. No one knows the AQS this year but I would say you have a fighting chance with that score but not certainly.
Check catchment for Kenilworth school. Are you in catchment? If not what was the furthest distance from school they offered last year and are you within that distance? That gives you an.indication of a chance not certainty.
Make sure you add a school to your form that you will be into otherwise you will be allocated a school by the LEA.
