What score is needed?
These are the scores of the last place actually offered — not a pass mark. Everyone offered a place scored at least this much.
| Entry year | Category | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | Inside priority area | 304 |
The consortium makes no offer anywhere below 303. Anything above that in the table is the school being oversubscribed, not a higher pass mark.
These move every year and are published months after most families have to choose. Treat them as a guide to how competitive a school is, not a target.
How you get a place
This is not a grammar school. It is a comprehensive or faith school with a small number of places set aside for children who pass the 11+, with the rest admitted on ordinary criteria. The selective quota is only a fraction of the intake.
- A mixed comprehensive with a selective stream, not a grammar school. Only about 28 of its 310 places are allocated on the CSSE test.
- Uniquely, it operates a borderline selective band for scores between 295 and 303 - a route for children who narrowly miss the consortium pass mark.
- Selective places require residence in the priority area.
Does it run its own test?
No. Entry is through the CSSE 11+ only.
