What the entrance test covers

Colyton Grammar School uses papers from Quest Assessments: maths and English questions based solely on the Key Stage 2 National Curriculum — no verbal or non-verbal reasoning. The full test session runs about two and a half hours including breaks, sat at the school in mid-September of Year 6. Register directly on the school's website during its Year 5 registration window; results arrive in October before the 31 October application deadline.
