The Entrance Test for September 2026 Entry (current Y5 pupils) took place on Saturday 13 September 2025.  If your child missed the test you can apply for them to take the Late Test in January 2026.  To do this you must contact the school directly.  Please note that the Late Test gives your child an opportunity to join the Waiting List for your chosen grammar school(s). They will not be allocated a grammar school place on national allocations day in March.
