Parkstone/Bournemouth School Girls - out of catchment

[Twinmumdorch]

I have twins currently in year 5 and trying to decide whether to sit 11+ for Parkstone and Bournemouth school for girls. I could move at a later date but not sure what their chances are of making it out of catchment?

It is looking like pretty much every person that past the tests for the Grammar schools got in again this year, unless anyone has heard differently?

Not for the Boys Poole Grammar school unfortunately. Out of catchment

I called Parkstone this week to talk about entry next year. They told me they have a waiting list of girls all out of catchment on it.

Did they say how many? The Boys Grammar has a waiting list in the 20s. I think this year was a bumper year for applicants and last year I heard that all who passed got in.
