Before results day: plan for each result

  1. Know how and when results arrive: Not published yet.
  2. Decide now whether you will read the result on your own first or open it with your child.
  3. Think about your school list for each result: reached the score, close to it, or below it.
  4. Put your own deadlines in your calendar. They are listed below.

On results day

Open it on your own first

  • If you can, read the result on your own first, before your child is home. A few quiet minutes let you take it in and choose your words.
  • You can keep the message unopened until you are ready, or decide to open it together. Do what suits your family.
  • If emails or the council website are slow, it says nothing about your child's result. Wait a little and try again.

How to tell your child

  • Start with how proud you are. I am so proud of how hard you worked for this.
  • Say the result plainly and calmly, in a few words. A big smile at the door can be read as good news before you speak.
  • If they reached the score: You reached the score. We will find out which school in March.
  • If they did not: You did not get the score this time. It was one test on one day, and it does not change how proud we are of you.
  • Let them feel disappointed if they are. You do not need to cheer them up straight away.
  • Let your child decide who else hears their score.

What each result means, and what to do next

We have not checked a qualifying score for Barnet for this year yet. Your results letter or email says whether your child reached the standard.

Your child reached the standard

Your child can be considered for grammar schools in Barnet. This is not a place yet: if more children apply than a school has places, it uses its own admission rules, such as distance or .

What to do next

  1. Tell your child you are proud of the effort they made, whatever the score.
  2. Read each school's admission rules to see how it gives places. Our school pages show how far offers reached in past years.
  3. Check whether a school asks for its own form or evidence, such as a , and send it by that school's deadline.

Your child did not reach the standard this time

What to do next

  2. Look again at your other schools, and visit if you can. For most children the right school is one where they will be happy and do well.

What the outcome means at each school

Each school reads its scores in its own way. Queen Elizabeth's sets a standard: Boys scoring 225 or more meet the Governors' standard and are eligible to be considered; places are then allocated in rank order of score, ties broken by straight-line distance.Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet: Qualifying rule (2027)Checked 9 Oct 2026 against Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet.The source says: Those candidates achieving a combined score of 225 or higher will be deemed to have met the standard required by the Governors to be eligible to be considered for admission to the school.View the official source
