A few surprises then?!

Post by reeyah »

Very surprised that BV minimum score seems to have gone up and KEAS down by at least 5 points! It goes to show that the extra places have made a big difference. BV, I think, has only offered 6 extra places or so.

Looking forward to seeing the cut-off scores. Come on KE, hurry up!

Definitely surprising.

It just reiterates the advice to put schools on the form even if you're below the previous years scores.

So true! I'm sure there are some very delighted parents who didn't think they'd make it :)

Yes totally agree, people have nothing to lose by putting the school you really want. I also think the new set up is alot better and allows a safety net if first choice is not achieved...

I am all over the place today - dd got her first choice of KE Handsworth!!!! - we are just overwhelmed. I only have one daughter and I have always wanted her to go to this school so it is a dream come true for me.

How did yours get on?
