Transfer Test AQE 2014-2015

Thank you for all that information.


Grosvenor 76!


I feel sorry for all you who had scores in the 80s and are now facing prospect of trying to secure places in a school when we see what the schools are taking. Campbell cut off well up as Grosvenor well down.


Keep fighting on, you will win in the end and well done to your child with their GCSEs

Ive just completed application for waiting list to Grosvenor! Its not even a school we know much about as we live in Hillsborough but willing to try anything right now
Our nearest school is 4mile away and they turned 50 applicants away this year.....madness!

Grosvenor, fantastic school. In previous years really hard to get into. Do not know what has happened this year. Think perhaps because Strathearn a new school a lot applied there instead. Or else parents did not put on list because in East Belfast it is the school with the highest cut off 103/104. Therefore parents assumed not worth trying, but it shows what the schools always say at the open nights DO NOT SECOND GUESS. No matter what your score put the schools in order of parent/child preference.


Inzane-Mummy did Grosvenor give you much hope or tell you where your child would be on the waiting list? Write a letter in with the application and keep ringing them. Good Luck

Mummyglam,


All they said was to get it filled in and returned to them. Then they would be in touch. First thing my boy asked is if there are girls there lol! typical.


Got him on Campbell waiting List also

Inzame..Mummy as a matter of interest you said you lived in Hillsborough - did you try Methody, Friends, Wallace, Banbridge Academy? Does anyone know the cut off for these schools

Mummyglam

Inzane..Mummy, Grosvenor has girls

Mummyglam, is it true Grosvenor down to 76! It's one of the hardest grammar to get in for the last few year, that's why I didnt put on the transfer form.

Phone most school around us , put name down on waiting list, finger cross
Anymore I can do ?

We applied to Methody! Don't know cut off but know of a friend whose daughter did not get in with a score of 101 AND a sibling attending :O thank goodness for the girls that'll be one way of bribing him to travel lol! Wallace and friends are both fairly high, they were also on our list....for bus pass purposes.

Did you return waiting list form via email? And did they tell you that's what they took down too? Why did your little boy not get in with 81??? Possibly appeal it?????

Heard that Methody Prep have a bad year getting kids into methody. 10/37 pupils did not make the cut.! Poor kids.
