I assume that by Ilford you mean Ilford County High School.

If so, if you go to the school's website under the 6th form section there is a link to "destinations" which gives detailed information as to university places gained. This should be a good starting point for your search.

Have been through the site and has no concrete % of students going to Oxbridge in last few years as opposed to other top of league table schools which provide this information.
Hence my query here.

Assuming parents who went to Open day could share info ... if it was mentioned then.

Did you not think to ask at the open evening yourself, if it is of major importance to you in your decision making?

As you don't have to submit your CAF for nearly another 48 hours, you could phone the school tomorrow and ask?

I'm genuiunely interested in how this is relevant to choosing a school. The students on any list are 8 years older than any child starting next year. The A level specifications are completing changes to linear and GCSE grades are also changing. Many teachers will have left a school in 8 years - historic degree information is irrelevant.

I am genuinely interested in knowing what else are you looking at , if you are choosing grammar school ?!
