Admissions
A friend and I were discussing admissions this morning.
By the time our children do the 11+ we will know the result of the Altrincham Grammar entrance exam. We would both quite like our children to go to Sale Grammar with Altrincham as a backup (because Sale is mixed) and are in zone for both - my understanding is that if you put Sale first and Altrincham second and the child fails the 11+ but pass Altrincham you will get into Altrincham. My friend believes Altrincham only consider people who put them first. Who is right, or is it different for boys and girls?
