Does siblings really count when choosing school
9 Answers
My son recently sat for 11+ exam. He passed the exam and managed to secure an interview, which was great. However, he didn't get the offer from this school. I found that the school choose to pick the children who have siblings already there or parent working with school ground. I felt quite peed-off which this arrangement. What is the point having the exam if the school already knew who they are going to offer a place to.
Does the siblings really count when choosing the school? Whatever happened to choose pupil based on their exam result which more fair?

I'd be surprised if siblings and staff kids made up all the intake, though. More likely is just that they had plenty of places but more applicants, and some missed out because even if they did well, others did better.
