Adams Results
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

Re: Adams Results
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.

Re: Adams Results
Last year you got given sons score and score of lowest in the previous year.
Re: Adams Results
Interesting some getting generic letters whilst others getting scores. Didnt think it would be like that
Re: Adams Results
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!!MSD wrote: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 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!!
Re: Adams Results
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
I'm not sure Walsall/wolves consortium merging with the brum one is such a great idea??

Re: Adams Results
So the other letter says it not probable that your son / daughter would benefit. Scores seem less judgemental and clearer against cut off
Re: Adams Results
Yep - one says "your son will benefit from" and other says "your son will not benefit from". Delightful, eh??Petitpois wrote:So the other letter says it not probable that your son / daughter would benefit. Scores seem less judgemental and clearer against cut off
