The current school I'm going to (but not during year 11-12, since I'm moving elsewhere) are pretty strict. I think it was only the top quarter of the year group in English at the moment are "allowed" to undertake Advanced English. Though it's more of an extremely heavy "recommendation", as opposed to actually blocking someone off from a subject due to their ability, because I'm not even sure if it's legal to do that, haha.

Not very? I remember the subject selection process...haha
English advanced was compulsory and most people did EX1 anyway.

Huge amounts of emphasis placed on any subject that wasn't maths/science though, probably because humanities performs very strongly every year. But nonetheless, not very strict. A common pattern at my school is 3/3/3 other subjects

Around top ~40+ school I assume? I mean, I know some schools are lenient about their classes but not for EVERYONE to do advance English...

Not very, my school pretty allows you to choose what you want. They offer their opinions and recommendations, but at the end of the day they always leave the final decision up to us.

We were free to do whatever we wanted. But our English teachers strongly advised nobody except like one or two people to do EE1 because everybody failed that anyway lol.
