Selection route
Assessment route not published.
- Eligibility
- Boys normally born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016 must apply for and sit the GL Assessment 11+ examination once, attain the cohort-determined qualifying standard, and name the school first on the Local Authority Common Application Form.
- Score policy
- The GL Assessment 11+ consists of a verbal skills paper and a Mathematics and non-verbal reasoning paper, with marks standardised by age weighting; the qualifying standard is determined from the examination cohort rather than being a pre-defined mark, and it is 10% lower for eligible looked-after or Pupil Premium applicants.
- Oversubscription
- Where qualifying applicants exceed places, priority is given in order to looked-after or previously looked-after children, applicants eligible for Pupil Premium, applicants living in the designated area, children of qualifying school staff, Service Premium applicants, and then other applicants who meet the entry requirements; straight-line distance and independent casting of lots break ties.
