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.
- Qualified candidates who are looked after or previously looked after children, or internationally previously looked after.
- Qualified candidates who reside (the Governors define being resident as sleeping at least 5 nights out of every seven during Term Time) and whose principal residency is within 6.5 miles in a straight line distance from the Head Master’s Office to the applicant’s residence (as defined as above). A map can be viewed at the School during the Open Evening. If it is not possible to view the map, the school will check any queries over catchment status, providing the necessary information Post code or grid references are supplied by the parents. Such children are defined as “in catchment” candidates. Should there be need to establish priority within this category, it will go to the applicants with the higher V.R. scores.
- Qualified candidates, out of catchment, with the higher verbal reasoning scores being allocated first.
As a tie break the governors will calculate the mean rank position and, if there is still a tie, they will take the highest individual score on the written test. If a tie still exists, the governors will take the least number of mistakes on the written paper and, if necessary, an independent ballot would be taken if there is still a tie. 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.
