What the entrance test covers
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.
University destinations
Of the 72-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.
