Undersubscribed schools rated Good or Outstanding

These schools didn't fill on first preference in the latest admissions year, despite an Ofsted rating of Good or Outstanding — worth a look if you're chasing the same handful of famous names everyone else applies to.

How places are allocated in Telford and Wrekin

Primary schools: Most schools have a defined catchment (some parish-boundary based); LA publishes an interactive catchment area map. (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.

Telford straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Telford and Wrekin's, and Shropshire also has schools here, applying under its own.

Telford and Wrekin entrance test format

Both Telford and Wrekin grammar schools (Haberdashers' Adams and Newport Girls' High School) use the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test — the same shared GL Assessment test as the Birmingham and Walsall grammars: Two multiple-choice papers of about 50 minutes each (answers on separate electronically-marked sheets), covering English comprehension, verbal reasoning, mathematics, and non-verbal/spatial reasoning. Published weighting: 50% English/verbal reasoning, 25% non-verbal reasoning, 25% mathematics. Scores are age-standardised. One registration (early May to late June of Year 5) and one sitting (mid-September of Year 6, historically a Monday) covers every West Midlands consortium school named; each school then sets its own qualifying/priority thresholds.

Out-of-area applications

Telford and Wrekin's two grammar schools — Haberdashers' Adams (boys, Newport, with boarding) and Newport Girls' High School — both use the shared West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test (the same single test used by the Birmingham and Walsall grammar schools, 19 schools in total). Register once via the West Midlands Grammar Schools portal (historically early May to late June of Year 5, 4pm deadline) and one sitting covers every participating school you name. Children living outside the area can register; Haberdashers' Adams' boarding places draw a national intake. Apply via your home LA's Common Application Form by 31 October. Check each school's oversubscription criteria — both use priority areas/catchment elements for day places.
