Admissions Policies for Entry in September 2025

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

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 in reasonable walking distance to other grammar schools.

  • Admissions Policy for Day Entry can be found here.
  • Admissions Policy for Boarding Entry can be found here.

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.  Please note that it is very rare to have space in boarding between Year 7 entry and the Sixth Form.

Royal Grammar School Catchment Area for 2025 can be found here.
