Please note that our Sixth Form (day school only) becomes Co-Educational with effect from September 2025.

Following a discussion with the DfE we have amended our oversubscription criteria for Sixth Form boarding in both the 2025 and 2026 admissions policies.

There are some priority areas within our existing catchment area. Priority B areas are where students have a choice of more than two grammar schools and are within reasonable walking distance to other grammar schools.

The Boarding Registration Form is for Year 7 only. Information about weekly boarding under the Late Transfer Procedure and Full Boarding (Year 9 and above) is available from the School.

Parents who wish to apply for a boarding place in Years 8-10, should complete the Late Transfer form when the annual testing round is open and indicate whether they would prefer a boarding place.
