• address the child must be resident at this address, on this date, for the address to be used for the 1st round of allocations.
• submitting sibling evidence (advise us whether your child has a sibling at the preference or linked school. If you do not advise us your child may be ranked incorrectly).

• exceptional medical and social evidence - Some (not all) schools have an ‘exceptional medical or social needs’ rule that applicants can be considered under. Refer to each grammar school’s admissions policy. This rule is NOT used to determine any adjustments to the grammar testing process for your child.  If you would like to apply under this rule, you will need to submit evidence to us when you make your application.

This is also the deadline for submitting a completed ‘Adjustments to Testing’ request form and providing any relevant evidence.  Any request, or evidence, provided after this date will not be considered.

Late Transfer test takes place for any of the 8 grammar schools.

Results of testing for those who were tested on 4 February 2023 will be emailed to parents after 5pm.

The 1st round allocations are made for children who qualified at the test. Parents will be advised if a grammar school place can be offered.

Parents of those children who did not qualify will be advised what steps they can take next.

Students who sat the test on later dates will receive results and advised if a grammar place can be offered as soon as possible.
