Admissions Procedure

The secondary allocation procedure is sent out to parents by the Chief Education Officer at the start of the child’s final year at Primary School. Foundation schools are independent of the L.E.A. and will also send details of their admission procedure.

We have good relationships with our secondary schools and encourage links between the two phases. We aim for each child to have acquired the skills and attitudes needed to meet the challenge of secondary schooling. Making the right choice is not always easy. Please contact us if you would like any guidance.

For more information regarding the transfer to secondary school please go the Gloucestershire County Council website

Grammar School Entry

You will need to contact your preferred grammar school direct to find out how to apply or for results of any tests. For information regarding key dates go to the Gloucestershire County Council website

The seven Gloucestershire Grammar Schools are planning to hold the Entrance Test as planned on Saturday the 12th of September. Each school will ensure that all guidance on social distancing and hygiene are fully implemented at each testing site. If the date of the Entrance Test has to be changed in light of revised Governmental guidance, then all parents/careers who have registered their child to sit the Entrance Test, will be notified of that change in advance of the 12th of September.

The results of this test will be emailed to parents in October. This will enable you to have the information you need before your completion of the CAF (Common Application Form) for Gloucestershire County Council.
