this is a very old thread, but I found this information fascinating.

Why do you think that level of attrition may be ? From 180 to 140? Distance and travel arrangements?
(attempt to extrapolate if some of the further out schools would work for my DD)

Ah, don’t let us start on that. :lol: :lol:

School has a subject choice (aka cull) policy. Anyone not expected to get A* in A2 subjects is not offered his choice of subjects and thereby is either culled or has to go elsewhere to sit for his choice of subjects.

Iam, this thread is about QE Boys in Barnet.

The girls school is non-selective and my guess is that the discussions in the linked threads have little, if any, relevance to QE Girls in Barnet.

Yes, I think one can safely say that QE (the one to which this thread pertains) would not do at all when looking for a school for a DD, whether she lived on the doorstep or had to travel two hours on 3 buses (see previous) to get there :).

If you search on QE there are lots of threads on this school - this thread is as you say old, but also refers to the local girls school which I suspect is not what you are looking for?

TBH, the QE Boys links in the original post are now so old that it's really not worth keeping this thread as a sticky.

good point thisisnuts! Perhaps it has done its job? at one time there were new threads re QE started very frequently which often descended into rather heated arguments about one element of the school or another.
