    Is it possible that anyone actually knows what scores schools are taking, hearing lots of chat from parents about certain schools taking higher this year and more applications etc...
    Just wondering if it is all just hear say and that nothing is offical till Saturday?

    Well, more applications translates to "higher this year", in general. But it's not definitive... So probably speculation.

    i WOULD SAY IT IS ALL DONE AND DUSTED so unless your in the know with someone from the school your child wants to go to your waiting to Saturday Like the rest off us 4 more days then it is over ..I have heard that the School my son wants to go to has had a lot of applications this year and a lot of high Scores but I do know last year they contacted parents July time to offer places roll on saturday .

    Schools are not allowed to talk about scores and number of applications etc before the letters go out, so yes it is heresay. Anyway the process may not be fully over yet as special provisions are still being sorted and those kids without a place have been notified by the board and they only know what schools have still places available. Won't be long now thankfully 😀

    I have a friend who works in the office of a grammar school and she really isn't allowed to discuss it at all even though my child isn't going there! I can't see it jumping up too much. Maybe a few marks??

    I just hate the whole education system! Always testing and comparing my children with others is just soul-destroying. My p5 was told his test marks in the mid-80's [%] is disappointing!!! I think it's crazy. As long as my kids are happy and healthy that's all that really matters. Sorry rant over lol!
