Trafford has THREE different entrance tests depending on the school: 1. Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium (Altrincham Grammar School for Boys, Altrincham Grammar School for Girls, Sale Grammar School, Stretford Grammar School, Urmston Grammar) — two multiple-choice papers of around an hour each with a short break between, covering verbal ability (vocabulary, word relationships, verbal reasoning comprehension), non-verbal ability (shape relationships, sequences, codes, spatial awareness) and maths (topics up to the start of Year 6). GL Assessment produces a bespoke paper for the consortium, so practice papers for other areas won't be identical. One sitting covers all five schools. 2. Loreto Grammar School (girls, Catholic) — its own 'Governors' Entrance Exam' of three papers: maths (45 minutes, set in-house, Year 5 curriculum), English (45 minutes, GL Assessment multiple-choice: comprehension, vocabulary, spelling, grammar, punctuation) and verbal reasoning (50 minutes, GL Assessment). 3. St Ambrose College (boys, Catholic) — its own test: verbal reasoning (50 minutes, GL Assessment), plus English and maths papers (35 minutes each; maths set in-house on the Year 5 curriculum). All multiple-choice, no creative writing. Papers are age-standardised. The consortium test and the two Catholic schools' tests are sat on different dates, so a child can attempt all three routes in the same September if registered separately for each.

Of the 137-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.

Median price for the school's electoral ward, year ending March 2023 — a neighbourhood-level indicator, not the school's actual admissions catchment (catchments are often smaller than a ward or span parts of several).
