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 | 306 |
| Outside priority area | 345 | |
| 2024 | Inside priority area | 303 |
| Outside priority area | 347 | |
| 2023 | Inside priority area | 304 |
| Outside priority area | 342 | |
| 2022 | Inside priority area | 303 |
| Outside priority area | 327 |
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
Mostly allocated by distance, but with a tier of places reserved for the highest scorers. A very strong score can get you in from outside the usual catchment.
- The only CSSE school publishing its own multi-year history, going back to 2020. Its figures match the consortium table, which is a useful check on both.
- Six years of data show the same pattern every year: essentially the 303 pass mark from inside the priority area, and 40 or more points higher from outside.
- The admission number has been quoted as both 184 and 192 depending on the year and the source.
Does it run its own test?
No. Entry is through the CSSE 11+ only.
