Burnham Grammar and Out of Catchment
My DS got a respectable score for the Burnham grammar 11+.
However, what are the rules for out of catchment applications?
Do the school allocate places on the basis of proximity to the school first or are the highest scores offered a place irrespective of proximity?
I am very confused?

They offer on proximity to all who achieved the qualifying mark in the 11+.
It has always been 'All Offered', (at least over the last 10 years) so you should safely be offered a place there.
Burnham Grammar has to compete with the Slough Grammar schools and Wycombe/Beaconsfield Grammar schools which are all close by so usually has quite a few spare places after initial allocations.

have hunt through this thread:

Looks to me as though there are 64 people who have put BGS first and have passed (for 150 places)... am I reading that right?

Hi Sally,
We moved to catchment recently. My son has missed pass mark on late test of 11+. BGS is catchment area grammar school. Due to undersubscription of the schoo, is there any chances of appealing?
or wait for 12+. Please advise?
Cheers,

Re: Apeal
If he didn't pass the test, you have to appeal on the grounds of suitablilty for grammar school; school choice isn't relevant at this stage.worried wrote:Hi Sally,
