The short answer from official pages
All referenced schools publish admissions pages, but explicit creative-writing wording is not consistently stated on those pages.
When wording is high-level, use not explicitly stated in current published policy and avoid over-weighting writing.
Keep writing active with a lighter weekly slot while prioritising explicitly listed tested domains.
For a full map, use the school admissions guides hub and keep every row date-stamped.

What this means for your plan this week
This weekly structure keeps mixed-route preparation manageable.
- Check one school page per week and capture wording in your tracker.
- Run one writing session for retention and confidence.
- Use remaining English slots for explicitly published route priorities.
- Refresh all sources in the six weeks before final mocks.
Parent checklist
- Treat each school as a separate route.
- Avoid assumptions based on geography or reputation.
- Keep writing light but consistent.

FAQ
Should writing be our main priority for these schools?
Only if current official documents explicitly require it; otherwise balance writing with listed tested domains.
Can one mock plan serve all four schools?
Not safely until you verify current-cycle format overlap.
What if one page is unclear?
Label as unconfirmed and verify through school-published admissions documents.
