Fine to PM me but where possible it is good to discuss on the forum as others may have similar questions. Judging by your title you are asking about in-year admissions at Newstead Wood.

From the latest admissions document

6. In Year Admissions Procedure
6.1 The Planned Admission Number (PAN) of Years 8-10 will remain at either 160 or 168, the same as the PAN was when these year groups were first admitted to the School in Year 7.
6.2 In Year applications should be made to the London Borough of Bromley School Admissions Department on their In-Year application form. The Local Authority will maintain the waiting list.
6.3 If a place becomes available at Newstead Wood School the applicants on the list will be invited to sit the selection test in order to establish their rank order position. The selection test will comprise papers in Verbal, Non-Verbal, Quantitative and Spatial Reasoning set by a nationally recognised body.
6.4 Tests will only be held if a place becomes available and are usually held towards the end of the summer term in preparation for a start in the next academic year.
6.5 The scores achieved in the test will be age adjusted and the ranked order will be based on the total score achieved. Where necessary the Non-Verbal Reasoning paper will be used to differentiate between students on the same overall score.
6.6 Places will be offered by the Local Authority in accordance with the School’s selection criteria (see section 3 above), provided that applicants have reached the same academic standard as students already in the school.
6.7 Applicants on the waiting list may only sit the selection test once.

DD is currently in Y12 and sixth form transition aside, between Y7 and Y11 I have not heard of many leaving her intake, perhaps one or two throughout the entire 5 year period. Other year groups may have been slightly different.
