Where the number of applications is more than the number of places available, the following criteria will be applied in the order set out below, to decide which children to admit.
- Looked After Children and Previously Looked After Children, including those children who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted who have reached the required score.
- Siblings of pupils already attending the school at the time of admittance.
- Straight line distance from home to school, priority given to those who live closest.
If distance is not sufficient to distinguish between applicants for the last place then a lottery will be conducted. There are entrance exams for admission into a grammar school. Details about the testing arrangements can be obtained from the school.
This is a grammar school and applicants must meet the required standard in the admissions exam to be allocated a place. See the school’s full admissions policy for more information.

- Sixth form entry requirements
-
Year 11 pupils from BGS have the right to transfer to the BGS Sixth Form, provided that they meet the published academic entry standards and that the school can accommodate their choice of subjects. The school produces a Sixth Form prospectus each year, giving details of all of the courses on offer.All applicants must achieve grades 5 to 9 in at least five GCSE subjects (or vocational equivalents), with at least a grade 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level (where the subject was taken at GCSE) and at least a grade 7 for Mathematics. Some A Level subjects not traditionally taken at GCSE level have their own entry requirements and these should be checked in the Sixth Form prospectus for the relevant year. The school cannot guarantee to accommodate every preferred combination of A Level subjects, due to the mathematical constraints of timetabling

Oversubscription criteria will apply in the event that there are more applications than places. If necessary, the oversubscription criteria for year 7 intake would apply in year 12 also.
