Adams Results

Post by tvgirl »

Hi All,

I'm a part time poster but hoping you might be able to help!

I got the letter from Adam's today saying (thank goodness!) that my son 'would benefit from a grammar school education' but absolutely no further information. Is there any way to find out what the 'yes/no' mark was (I'm sure they said they would include that but they haven't) and what my son's score is? Telford & Wrekin Council have said they don't get given the info..

Any help much appreciated and good luck to everyone else waiting for letters :D :D :D :D

Does the letter say they will be happy to offer you a place? They did this 3 years ago - if the child comfortably made the cut-off, no scores were given out.

I thought all Walsall consortium schools were meant to report in the same way and provide scores this year, whether high or low.

You can send a written request to school under data protection act. They have to furnish the information within 40 days from the date of request.

No. They are very clear that the letter is not an offer. It simply says that my son "will benefit from a g rammar school education". In other words it means he has passed the exam and achieved their cut-off mark, but there is no info about what the cut-off is or what his score is and it says in bold that there will be no further information available from the school. It's very frustrating!!

I think what happens now is that they apply the catchment area and so my son drops into the bottom part (we are about a mile outside catchment on the wrong side to have any other options open to us :( :( ) and so we have to hope his score is very high to have a chance.

I'm really not enjoying this process!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Strange- you would have thought the consortium would have a standard Letter. Giving the score surely should have been the minimum info provided?
Then again the communication within the consortium wasn't great re: when results were going to be posted :roll:
I'm not sure Walsall/wolves consortium merging with the brum one is such a great idea??

So the other letter says it not probable that your son / daughter would benefit. Scores seem less judgemental and clearer against cut off

Yep - one says "your son will benefit from" and other says "your son will not benefit from". Delightful, eh??
