Top 180

[Potato]

In the criteria for entry into grammars in Bexley does `top 180` mean the top 180 of those who scored over 252 are guaranteed a place or is everyone who scored over 252 guaranteed a place? Please forgive my ingnorance Thanks

As I understand it, top 180 means the top 180 scores out of all who took the test and that 252 was the score of the child(ren) who came 180th

Therefore any score of 252 or above is guaranteed a place at a Bexley GS

Yes that it correct, as far as I know every child with 252 or above, will be guaranteed a space at any one of the Bexley Grammar Schools regardless of whether you live 50 miles from the school.

Thanks, do we know out of the 1458 who were deemed selective how many got over 252?

Potato, my guess is about 179
The child scoring 252 was ranked the 180th....
