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.

Of the 203-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.

Median price for the school's electoral ward, year ending March 2023 — a neighbourhood-level indicator, not the school's actual admissions catchment (catchments are often smaller than a ward or span parts of several).

Entry requirement: Minimum total of 57 points across best 8 GCSEs, with grade 6+ in both Mathematics and English, and a predicted grade 7+ in any subject to be studied at A level (grade 8 recommended, not required, for sciences).

Open evening: Next Sixth Form Open Evening scheduled for February 2027 (September 2026 entry deadline has already passed as of July 2026).
