Thank you so much for your reply, we are hoping for the bestLast year was the first time Beths introduced Criteria 8, a couple of years before they had some unfilled spaces (I know some were filled by the 12+ exam when Year 8 began). However, last year they didn't have as many vacancies as "No students deemed selective in the Kent 11+ test were offered a place at Beths for September 2023", which may point to the fact that Criteria 8 was never used (using distance or otherwise) as all places were filled before it was necessary.
Hopefully, this year will be different! The new GL prepared exam and other factors may affect things this year. We have a friend who missed Bexley by a single point but scored in the 380's in Kent and they are looking at Beths (Wilmington Grammar is too far as they live in Bexleyheath). Once you have submitted the supplementary form with your CAF all you can do really, is wait.
Wish you the best and hopefully some Criteria 8 boys will be offered a place before September!
