What the entrance test covers

Wolverhampton Girls' High School uses the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test — the shared GL Assessment test also used by the Birmingham, Walsall and Telford grammars: Two one-hour multiple-choice papers, each covering English comprehension, verbal reasoning, mathematics and non-verbal/spatial reasoning, with answers on an OMR (optical mark reading) sheet. 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 September sitting covers every West Midlands consortium school named on the form.

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.
