Skipton, BD23 1QL · North Yorkshire grammar school
Each of the three North Yorkshire grammar schools tests differently: 1. Ripon Grammar School — GL Assessment papers in verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning (registration via North Yorkshire Council, test mid-September of Year 6, results by post mid-October). 2. Ermysted's Grammar School (boys, Skipton) — GL Assessment papers in English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning; registration direct with the school. 3. Skipton Girls' High School — FSCE (Future Stories Community Enterprise) papers in English, maths and creative writing — a notably different format from the two GL-based schools; registration direct with the school. A family applying to both Skipton schools should prepare for two different exam styles on separate dates.
Of the 117-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.
