Selection route
Assessment route not published.
- Eligibility
- Girls normally born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016 must sit the 11+ selection test, meet the required academic standard, register with the school, and apply through their Local Authority Common Application Form for September 2027.
- Score policy
- The 11+ uses three GL Assessment multiple-choice papers in verbal reasoning, Mathematics and English; scores are age-standardised, equally weighted and added to a final score, and the resulting cut-off determines whether an applicant meets the academic standard.
- Oversubscription
- After named EHCP applicants who meet the entry criteria, priority is given to looked-after or previously looked-after children, catchment Pupil Premium and Service Premium applicants, other catchment applicants, eligible school staff, outside-catchment siblings, and then other qualifying applicants by straight-line distance, with random allocation for an equal-distance tie.
