It's applying an oversubscription criterion (i.e. a ranking of applicants - those who have actually named the school on their CAF and submitted it to their LA) to exam candidates. Just like St Michael's saying, We're always oversubscribed with category 1 girls, so we'll only let girls in category 1 sit the test.resrtr wrote:Oh! Didn't know that

What, be cleverer, work harder, get their parents to employ better tutors for them? Or get their parents to register them for the exam in the first place? I have no personal knowledge of Hampstead Garden Suburb - is it an area of not particularly bright girls / parents who lack the desire to send their DDs to a selective school / selective state school / single sex school?Yes wrote:They should get through first round to get this opportunity.resrtr wrote:And why is that?

Omg how sad it that? Are these children or dogs? Trained better?!!!! I am proud to say all my children got into selective schools with no tuition and no coaching. They are having normal, happy childhoods. They will of course always have support and help from me, but their successes will be their own.Yes wrote:it is not about being cleverer.
