1 grammar school · qualifying scores, test dates and admission criteria
The Latymer School's test has a two-part structure sat on one exam day: 1. GL Assessment multiple-choice papers in maths and verbal reasoning (answers on separate sheets). 2. An English paper set by the school itself. The maths and verbal reasoning papers are marked first; only the top-scoring candidates (historically around 650) have their English paper marked, and offers go to the top scorers overall (historically 192 places) based on total score. Registration is direct with the school, historically mid-March to early June of Year 5, with test days in the first week of September of Year 6 and results in mid-October.

Enfield's only grammar school is The Latymer School (mixed, Edmonton). It runs its own entrance test — registration is direct with the school (historically mid-March to early June of Year 5), with test days in early September of Year 6. Applicants from outside Enfield are accepted — the school draws from across north London and Hertfordshire — but check the current admissions policy for any residence or distance criteria applied within the oversubscription rules. Apply via your home LA's Common Application Form by 31 October; results arrive in mid-October, in time to inform your choices.
