Reception intake 75% boys at DVI

[MrsSW]

I don't think things will even up particulary at 7. i.e. when a lot move on to the Hamlet (year 3), as just as many of my friends'/neighbours daughters have gone to (or will take entrance exams to) private schools (JAPS, Sydeneham or Alleyns) as sons (Dulwich College Prep, Dulwich Prep or Alleyns). Although people move in and out of the area so I suppose it should tend back to the norm.

It's definitely too small to be statistically significant but might be worth comparing with other areas with similar parent demographics.

Shettles... Hmm. Had friends try this when going for baby number 3 and wanting the opposite gender. It worked about 50% of the time. But the OS theory suggested certainly fits with it! And it would probably be unconcious gender selection IF it is right and does skew things a bit...
