One shared test for all five Warwickshire grammar schools, administered by Warwickshire County Council and provided by GL Assessment: two multiple-choice papers of around 50 minutes each, mixing English, mathematics, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Answers go on separate sheets that are scanned electronically, and scores are age-standardised. Registration is a single online form with the county council (historically closing 4pm on 30 June of Year 5); the test is sat in mid-September of Year 6, and one sitting covers all five schools. A qualifying score does not guarantee a place — each school applies its own oversubscription criteria, several with priority areas.
Of the 238-student 2019/20 leaver cohort, sustaining a higher-education destination the following year. This is the last cohort the Department for Education published with an Oxbridge/Russell Group breakdown — these categories were discontinued as official accountability measures after this release, so a more recent figure does not exist.
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
