Children in this cohort mainly attended one of our four recommended Maths/NVR tutors but some made other arrangements. English/VR score given in brackets where we have this. Girls/boys are pink/blue. Four pupils were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium.
* pupils attended fewer than 2 Holiday Clubs from the entire May-September period despite advice to attend 1x per week, so missed out on exam condition prep.
We believe the 212 pupil missed a VR section. The 201 child was taught Maths/NVR at home. The 213 child was absent for the final 2 classes of term before the exam.

Interview invites can be for scholarship, assisted place, or borderline place consideration. It is fair to assume that our interview invitees have been invited for scholarship/assisted place interviews. given their academic record with us.
One girl and one boy were invited to academic interview at King's High, Warwick - scholarships awarded of 30%
Children in this cohort mainly attended one of our four recommended Maths/NVR tutors, but some made other arrangements. English/VR score given in brackets where we have this. These were not provided to Walsall registered pupils. Girls/boys are pink/blue. Five pupils were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium. The 209 result was a child who was absent from classes throughout Aug/Sept.

Pupils who attended Ind Prep with us (were primarily prepared for KES/KEHS)
Some top pupils in this group did not take the Grammar exam.
Pupils who attended KS2 class with us (main focus was comprehension/to strengthen literacy, not 11 Plus prep)
27 children have been awarded scholarships for KES and KEHS.
One of these was a music scholarship, two were combined music/academic and 24 were academic.
All Ind Prep pupils received a place at KES/KEHS apart from one girl. This was likely due to Maths, based on low Maths scores in our Mocks. She has a generous scholarship to EHS.
All Grammar Prep pupils who attended Writing Club have a KES/KEHS place.

The highest score in this exam for all candidates was 413 for girls and 395 for boys (Boys' scores rounded)
This cohort faced an unprecedented preparation time - their last stable school year had been Year 3 and around half of the pupils below joined us after October, Year 5, and as late as summer term, having missed crucial foundation literacy work in Year 4. We were online from November - April (a legal requirement) and then (apart from one group) returned back to class from April onwards. Many of our families battled covid infections, repeated isolation requirements, and bereavement throughout the year. All pupils in this cohort should attain grammar school admission on offer day based on last year's scores, apart from:
One child who had a huge number of family deaths through spring/summer, so could not keep up with set learning long-term, but will likely receive a grammar school place from a waiting list (211) and scored highly for Walsall consortium.
One child who had absences and missed homework over summer (due to Covid in family) and attended a different Maths tuition to our recommendations so gained 92 for Maths, dropping score . (200)
One child who joined during Y5 but for genuine reasons had 7 absences over summer, but gained solid literacy foundations and has been offered a KEHS place, her first priority (199).
The breakdown of VR/literacy and Maths/NVR scores is provided where supplied. Children in this cohort mainly attended one of our four recommended Maths/NVR tutors but some (generally those with lower Maths/NVR scores) made other arrangements. This list includes children who prepared solely for Independent (KES/KEHS) exam formats with us but took the Grammar Consortium entry exam also. Some highly able Literacy Club pupils did not take the Grammar 11+ exam (wanting Independent admission). Girls/boys are pink/blue. Three pupils were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium. Pupils who attended Grammar Prep with us
The majority of Ind Prep pupils had KES/KEHS scholarship interviews, with all gaining places.
Of these, three also had music assessments and two had sports assessments for music/sports scholarships in conjunction (not all Ind Prep pupils took the examination)
We do not have the breakdown of the VR/Literacy & Maths/NVR scores. A small number of parents received them on request and these are added in brackets to one decimal place. Children in this cohort attended a variety of Maths/NVR tutors. This list includes children who prepared solely for Independent (KES/KEHS) exam formats with us but took the Grammar Consortium entry exam also. Girls/boys are pink/blue. Two were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium.
Pupils who attended Grammar Prep with us
9 children received a Solihull academic scholarship (including two with a music scholarship and one with sports scholarship)
1 child for a Solihull music scholarship
(Not all children took the Solihull exam)
We do not have the breakdown of the VR/Literacy & Maths/NVR scores. Children in this cohort attended a variety of Maths/NVR tutors. Girls/boys are pink/blue. Four were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium.
It is hard to analyse without a breakdown of the Lit/VR score, but from % information obtained by some parents, the lower scores are due to Maths/NVR drops.
19 boys and 8 girls attended Writing Club.
Every child who attended has a KES or KEHS place; a real achievement in a very competitive entry year.
The majority of pupils had scholarship interviews at KES, KEHS and/or Solihull and Warwick Schools.
VR/Literacy score appears after the main score, in brackets. For ease of reporting here, decimals are rounded to the nearest whole number, but the consortium does not necessarily do this when adding scores together. Girls/boys are pink/blue. Three were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium.
In this cohort, an additional Support Class was run with Salah; this was a small group of children who could not manage easily/initially in the faster-paced Literacy Club classes. The aim was to increase literacy confidence and still provide good access to the curriculum. Most of these pupils attended no, or few, Mock tests and holiday clubs. I did not, in all honesty, initially predict a grammar school entry for Support pupils, but with Salah's outstanding motivation & teaching & their hard work, they have done incredibly well. These results are below:
10 boys and 14 girls attended Writing Club.
Every child who attended all 13 Writing Club classes, has a KES or KEHS place.
Some of the scholarships above have been combined with Assisted places.

45 out of 54 students above gained scores likely high enough for KEVI Camp Hill Schools but a number of these are likely to choose KES/KEHS. All pupils except one who attended Literacy Club should gain a Grammar School place. The one pupil who did not, worked very hard and made super progress in literacy; their overall score is withheld above at parents' request; VR score is shown.
24 children attended the Writing Club for additional KES/KEHS preparation support.
VR/Literacy score appears after the main score, in brackets. For ease of reporting here, decimals are rounded to the nearest whole number, but the consortium does not necessarily do this when adding scores together. Girls/boys are pink/blue. One was known to be eligible for Pupil Premium. The highest score of all children taking the exam, was 269. 24 out of 36 students below gained scores high enough for KEVI Camp Hill Schools but a number of these are likely to choose KES/KEHS and other more local grammar schools. All other pupils except two underlined, whose Maths/NVR scores were significantly lower than their VR scores, have received a selective school place.
Some pupils above joined part-way through Year 5. Pupils who attended no, or very few, holiday clubs over the summer term and holidays, have generally lower VR scores.
12 children attended the Writing Club for additional KES/KEHS preparation support. 9 children were invited for scholarship/AP interviews.

Our tuition primarily focuses on the Grammar School examinations. However, a small group of 10 children attended Writing (with comprehension) Club in Year 6 in order to prepare for the Independent School examinations. Not all children took the KES/KEHS examinations as some were aiming for places in EHS/Solihull. Some results have come through:
VR/Literacy score appears after the main score, in brackets. Some of the pupils were known to be eligible for Pupil Premium.

One attained a place at King Edward VI Five Ways School and three attained a place at King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys.
