One shared GL Assessment test for the three Torbay grammar schools (Churston Ferrers, Torquay Boys', Torquay Girls'), sat on the same date at whichever school you register with: Two papers of roughly 50-60 minutes each, on the same day: 1. English — multiple-choice: reading comprehension, spelling, grammar. 2. Maths — multiple-choice, Key Stage 2-based. Scores are age-standardised and shared between the Torbay selective schools so each can apply its own admissions policy to the same result. Results arrive in October before the 31 October application deadline.
Same area, prioritising the same phase — useful for shortlisting alternatives.
Data sourced from GIAS, Ofsted and official Torbay admissions publications. Figures can change year to year — always confirm with the school before applying.
