Dr Challoner's grammar school sixth form

Hiya
I got a letter in the post this morning . It wasn’t an offer but I’ll let you read what Ive asked others.

Hi there I hope you or someone can help. I received a letter today from Dr Challoners 6th form, for sep 2020 entry. They said I need to upload my actual gcse grades when I receive them. They weren’t able to offer as I chose Maths A level and my prediction is 6 but needed 7. My point score met the criteria. I’m quite hopeful I’ll get 7 for maths but can someone tell me if they have been in the same boat as me and my likelihood of an offer. Any help will be much appreciated

I don't understand why they'd ask you to upload your use results but not give you an offer. Did they offer you an alternative subject instead of maths?

Have any external applicants heard whether they’ve received an offer of a place to start at dr Challoner’s grammar school sixth form (sept 20)? We’ve still not heard and we have to give notice to the old school soon.
Thanks.

Hi there ...thanks for responding. Yes, they said there will be an option on their website for me to log into and upload my actual grades once I have them. They also said the subject I’ve chosen doesn’t meet the criteria. There was no option for me to choose another A level but I could question that.

It is only Maths I got a 6 in and I chose it for an A level so it must be the reason I didn’t get an offer. I just thought others in the past may also have had a similar situation and then got an offer. I’m sitting maths gcse in may with my school and hoping I’ll get a least a 7. I guess I’ll just have to wait... and not worry too much. Another colleague of mine received a rejection this morning but not the option to upload grades. If anyone has info Plse let me know, thank you .

Garcia124 - Thank you. I did get an offer but I’m not doing sciences (which I know are popular) so that helped I think. Im sure if you get your maths gcse and upload your grades, there’s a good chance they’ll take you. Last year, they had spaces come August and asked people to apply post GCSE’s so you’ve got a super chance. As you said, it wasn’t a rejection so it’s positive. Really good luck to you.

i read this as le chatellier's principle sixth form

Thanks and congrats...really Well done. The ‘point system’ they go by is to obtain a minimum of 48’. Which is your top 8 grade numbers combined...mine is 59 which I’m assuming isn’t too bad. Do you know what the average is of others.

My top 8 comes to 65. I don’t know anyone else going so have no idea but I guess there’ll be a range. Your grades are perfect as they’re well above the requirement.

My combined score was also 59 and I got rejected 😭 I’m not doing any subjects that were oversubscribed last year and I’m definitely in catchment of the school. I also have a sibling there. Very upset as i desperately didn’t want to go back to my own school and this was my only escape route.

Hi hydrate ..did Challoners invite you to go to their website and insert your actual grades on results day or was it short one paragraph letter saying no.

Chesham grammar can be lenient and will accept a 6 if you want to take maths at A-Level. Might be worth ringing up on results day as they probably will have some spaces.

Their policy said you only needed 48 points though which is very misleading if it is actually 68 points

If it helps, literally all the people I know that got in don't actually want to go so there will be lots of places free by results day
