Oct 12, 2022 · PettsWoodParadise · 16/10/2022 17:21. The required score on offer day 1 March 2022 was 225, it went down to about 23rd on waitlist, someone on 220 didn’t get a place this year when in previous years they would have done. 227 should be fine and it would be an exceptional year for them not to get a place.

My DD had passed all local grammar schools and is more likely to be offered a place at Newsteadwood in Orpington (first preference in common application form).
