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 Telford and Wrekin 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 Telford and Wrekin. 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 catchmentAn area, set by a school or a council, where children get higher priority for a place. Living inside it is not an offer of a place. Not every school has a catchment..

What to do next

Tell your child you are proud of the effort they made, whatever the score.
Read each school's admission rules to see how it gives places. Our school pages show how far offers reached in past years.
Check whether a school asks for its own form or evidence, such as a SIFSupplementary Information FormAn extra form that some schools ask for, as well as the CAF. You send it to the school, not to the council. A SIF on its own is not an application: you must still name the school on your CAF., and send it by that school's deadline.
