Provider change for September 2028 entry
For September 2028 entry, the Slough Consortium will use Quest Assessments for the test sat in September 2027. Its schools say the test will still have two papers across English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and the eligibility score will remain 111. Exact registration and test dates need checking with the consortium.
Slough Consortium's 2028-entry noticeWhat to do with a 2026 Slough result
- Read your child's result in the Slough Consortium parent portal. Results have been available since 4pm on 15 October 2026. A score of 111 or more gives eligibility for consideration, not a school-place offer.
- Check each preferred school's 2027 admissions criteria, then name it on your home council's secondary application. Slough residents must apply by 31 October 2026; other councils set their own deadlines.
- If applying to St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School, also submit its separate Supplementary Form by 31 October 2026 so the school can apply its faith-based criteria. The test registration, school form and council application do different jobs.

Scoring and eligibility
GL Assessment standardises the combined results. For September 2027 entry, a standardised score of 111 or above is the eligibility threshold, described by the consortium as approximately the top 35% of that test cohort.
