Where is your child heading?

What this works out
Put four bands in and this shows the single band change that brings the most schools into reach, and how many that is.

How the scoring works
The mechanics behind the numbers above, in plain English.
The eight AL bands
Each subject earns AL 1 (best) to 8. Narrow bands at the top, on purpose: one careless mark does not become one whole level.
marks, 0 → 100
Score to posting group
Four ALs add up to one score, 4 to 32.
- 4 to 20Posting Group 3
- 21 to 22your family picks Posting Group 2 or 3
- 23 to 24Posting Group 2
- 25your family picks Posting Group 1 or 2
- 26 to 30Posting Group 1
All six school choices sit in the one group you pick. Above 30, MOE arranges the next step with the family directly.
A cut-off is a fact, not a forecast
It is the score of the last child posted in, published each May (2026 intake here). We never turn it into a probability. A percentage would be an invented number.
Ties have a fixed order
Citizenship first, then who ranked the school higher, then a computerised ballot. About 9 in 10 children never ballot at all.
Affiliation is first-choice only
It applies only when the affiliated school is ranked first, at least 20% of places stay open to everyone, and IP tracks carry no priority.
The score is one number. The work is topic by topic.
