Does anyone know if there's been any movement and how long their waiting list is?
Unfortunately our son missed the mark by 1 point so didn't qualify. I can see that it's been very popular this year so the chances are very slim but we were really hoping they offer below pass mark again this year.
Just curious more than anything to know how long etc. the list is, just to manage expectations.
I don't have a child in Year 6 at the moment but judging from what I've heard, the chances of your son gaining a place at this stage are very low! It seems an overwhelming majority of parents of boys who passed the 11+ that live in Bexley Village and Sidcup/Blackfen have put Chis 'n' Sid as their first choice which has placed an unprecedented strain on places at the school because it's co-ed.
Has he been allocated a decent comp school? Would going private be an option for you?
