Is Dartford G, Judd, Skinners realistic with 407? For OOC
Thanks

[DaddyOh]

don't know anything about Dartford but if I recall correctly the score for Judd and Skinners have been

Judd
2008 - 408
2009 - 411
2010 - 415
2011 - 417

Skinners
2009 - 405
2010 - 409
2011 - 407

And those usually drop a point or two when they go through the waiting list, so I'd say 407 is pretty hopeful for Skinners but probably an outside shot for Judd

Thanks DaddyOh!

Don't know about Darford but Judd and Skinners are on score only so being OOC will not make any difference as far as I can remember (sure I will be corrected if I am wrong )

You are right! What DaddyoH says is correct for all applicants in or out of county, the only way you will be disadvantaged is if you are on the cut-off score and you have the same score as another child living nearer to the school. (does that last bit make any sense? )

[DaddyOh]

That's spot on doodles, Judd/Skinners don't care if you live in Newcastle so long as your score is good enough. I think they get several applications each year from people large distances away who plan to move into Kent if they get a place (I understand they've had applications from abroad before) and as Just1-2go says distance is used as a tie-breaker so a 407 in Newcastle will get in before a 407 in Singapore

I heard that DGS' cut off was 411 last year.

What about Dartford Grammar School for Girls, what were their criteria last year? Thank you.

OOB cut off was 413 so again very high
