Test

All candidates for admission are required to take a Non Verbal Reasoning (NVR) Test at the school in October.

As soon as possible after the NVR Test, parents will be advised as to whether their child is to take the Maths and Literacy tests.

Following the above, the Governors will select the 186 candidates to whom they wish to offer places, and will also construct a reserve list. The final results of the selection procedure (including a child's position on the reserve list if applicable) will be communicated to parents at the beginning of March by your Local Authority.

You can buy the test packs after the Headteacher's talk on our open evenings, or, during the Tour days.
