Hello Lollipop2, based on previous years there is a chance of all 3. You would get HGS on offers day and potentially Aston as well. Put them in the true order of preference on your CAF as they are all possible.

Hi, sorry for jumping in, but I'm in a similar dilemma, only difference my son has got a 209. Proud of him, but reflecting back at last years cut off scores is filling me with doubt. HELP.

At 209 your son is relatively likely to achieve a KE Handsworth Grammar (Boys) place, even if from the waiting list after March.

If it's your first choice, put it first. Then ensure that somewhere else on the form is a school he can definitely gain a place at (for example on distance) just in case the last score to Handsworth jumps this year.

Thank you, this is my first time going down the grammar route and I'm having kittens. Best of luck to everyone
