Does anyone have an idea on the number of pupil that sat the Bexley test.

Well, according to the Bexley Council leaflet on selections tests, in 2008 4,520 children sat the Bexley test. Of those 1,294 were deemed selective, for 814 places.

This year the number of places available has, I think, gone down to 754 as Erith is no longer a bilateral school and Bexley always used to include it when counting the number of selective places in Bexley.

I wonder if this accounts for so many unexpected failiures?

It says on the back of the letter about 5000.

It doesn't say anything on the back of our letter.

BM2, your ds was in the top 180, this is a letter, on the back of a fail notice, about a requesting a review and how competitive the places are. x

someone I know phoned admissions on Thursday to check if letters had been posted and was told "4700 results letters were collected by Royal Mail yesterday"

I heard it was 5500, many being out of borough applicants!
