Could Westminster / SPGS accept on GCSE Results day?

Hello,
Does anyone know if Westminster School or St Pauls Girls School (16+ 2025 entry) would accept someone on GCSE Results day if they achieved 11 grade 9s and an A in FSQM via a bursary/scholarship (100%) but did not apply beforehand - only on GCSE results day?
A Level Choices - Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics

Thank you in advance.

Hello, I know if can't definitively answer your question, but I'm in year 12 and I was applying to sixth forms last year. From what I remember, none of the schools I applied to would have accepted only results day applications seeing as they usually have to prepare and have the information beforehand. Also, seeing as (from what I've searched up) these Schools are private, so they'd probably need everything in advance if you're a bursary/scholarship student. My advice, email them enquiring about applications and if you can start applying from now, because results day is leaving it too last minute.

Pretty unlikely I’m afraid. They are super selective and have their own entrance exams to select who gets in and they turn people away so are not going to let someone in just for their GCSE grades (or anyone else who didn’t get in after the exams and then went on to get 11 9s would start to complain. Also the number of 100% bursaries is going to be small, so extremely competitive (ie getting straight 9s at GCSEs isn’t enough, you would have to be one of the best in their own entrance exams as well as your family meeting the financial criteria.)

No because they would have filled all the places by then.
