Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School (CVMS)

Yeah, I got my conditional offer
Idk if this reply is any use to you now
Hope you got in

Because I wasn't an internal applicant and didn't have a sibling as a past pupil I lost to the tie break but I'm on the wait list to get a space if someone declines their offer

With CVMS, if you have no siblings you must apply for 5 A-Levels (which you can drop once you get in) otherwise they don’t accept you. The 4 A-Levels option is literally just for those with siblings.

Yeah I realised that after applying, I'm really hoping to get a spot on Results Day (If someone declines their acceptance) or I'll have to really push myself in the next two months to hit the requirements for the 5 A-Levels option.

Hey!

Thanks so much for the detailed response, if you don't mind can I ask a few questions?

1) Which category did you apply and successfully get in by - 4/5 Subjects.
2) Which categories did your friends get in on results day
3) Did you have siblings already at the school?

Thanks for answering, CVMS Is currently my first choice since I could walk there and be at school within 5 minutes and they offer the courses I want so its the perfect school, I've also emailed and spoke to Mr Bell & Miss Whelan so I could get a more detailed response into how the waiting list works and the chances that I get in via results day / a waiting list.

Thanks.
