Grammar School - A Level

Not sure about 6th form but it's done that way for uni. Just apply as quickly as possible and you should be fine

Hi All,

My son has finished his GCSE. I have applied to various grammar schools and already got provisional admission. There is a good chance that he will get into grammar school in his A level. I am wondering whether there is any disadvantage for him to join the A-level grammar school. For example, if they are two students both of them have scores 3 A* or A in all three subjects. But one comes from grammar school while the other one is from public school. The student from public school will be given priority in university admission since he is less privileged position.

Please let me know whether my assumption is right. Can somebody share any light on this confusion?

Regards

Is this a state Grammar school? Most Grammars are state ie no fees schools.

A public school = a fee-paying private school

I think your terminology may be wrong. Results can be lookied 'in context' and some unis are trying to reduce fee-paying private school students.

Grammar school i was referring was state funded grammar school. While public school i am referring to state funded public school.

I think you should attend grammar school if it's convenient. However, if you have to travel super far to attend everyday then it's much better to go to a nearby highschool because the level of teaching doesn't vary to that extent and you are sort of right in that poorly performing schools are more eligible for university schemes/might be contextually considered.

But is this mentioned clearly in university admission rules. Let me know if anyone is aware of it.
