Oversubscription policy — Candidates will only be considered eligible for admission if they are deemed to be of selective ability as a result of the testing process with a score of 220 or above.
Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:
Looked after children and all previously looked after children.
Siblings of children who will still be attending King Edward VI when the child is due to
start.
Twins who have both passed the test for the same year of entry.
Eligible children in Year 6 who live within the traditional catchment area or are attending one of the named feeder primary schools. If there is oversubscription within this category, applicants who have passed the test will be ranked according to their test scores.
If there are insufficient suitably qualified applicants from the above then suitably qualified applicants will be admitted: these candidates will be ranked according to their test scores.
If two or more children are tied for the last place a lottery will be drawn by an independent person, not employed by the School or working in Children’s Service Directorate at the local authority.
