Gloucester, GL3 2NB · Gloucestershire · primary school
Explicit: 'Generally, there are no catchment areas for primary schools' — straight-line distance is the tiebreaker for community/VC schools. Voluntary aided/academy/foundation schools may still set their own catchment.
Two multiple-choice papers (GL Assessment style), covering verbal ability (English and verbal reasoning), numerical reasoning (maths), and non-verbal reasoning. Each paper takes around an hour including instructions and worked examples. A qualifying rank on the test is not itself an offer — you must also list the grammar school(s) on your home LA's secondary school application form by the normal 31 October deadline.
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
Data sourced from GIAS, Ofsted and official Gloucestershire admissions publications. Figures can change year to year — always confirm with the school before applying.
