Allocation pattern
Score rank order
Places go in strict SEAG score order, highest first, until the school is full. When scores tie at the cut-off, published tie-break criteria decide the final places.

Cambridge House Grammar School: SEAG score and admissions criteria
This page shows exactly how Cambridge House Grammar School used SEAG results to allocate Year 8 places,
taken from the school’s own published admissions criteria. It is one of the
63 school evidence cards in our SEAG admissions guide.
How places were allocated for September 2026
- 140 places. Children are admitted in strict rank order of Total Standardised Age Score (TSAS), highest to lowest, up to the admissions number.
- Where children tie on the same score for the final place(s), criteria apply in order: preference position (first-preference applicants before later preferences) → a sibling enrolled in 2025–26 → the eldest or only child of the family, then a further tie-break.
- As a controlled school, no capital fee is charged.
Places go by score rank alone. Only for children tied on the exact TSAS does the school look at preference position, then sibling and eldest-child links — most SEAG schools do not use preference at all. The Band is not used.
