DRDenmark Road High School 11+ admissions

• Gloucestershire Grammar Schools 11 Plus

  Formal consortium · GL Assessment for September 2027 entry. This is the 2027 entry cohort; the provider changes to Future Stories Community Enterprise (FSCE) for September 2028 entry. · A shared two-paper multiple-choice test. One paper assesses verbal skills including comprehension, vocabulary and verbal reasoning; the other assesses non-verbal reasoning and mathematics. The grammar schools manage registration and test administration.

  Each grammar school the family opted to share results with sends its own confirmation of whether the child achieved that school’s qualifying score. Qualification alone is not an offer; families must also list schools on the home local-authority application.

  Provider change for September 2028 entry

  For September 2028 entry, Gloucestershire's seven grammar schools move from GL Assessment to FSCE. Pate's says registration opens at noon on 8 February 2027 and closes at noon on 19 March 2027, with the test on 3 July 2027 in Year 5. Its 2028 guidance describes three papers covering English, maths and primary foundation subjects. These dates and papers are for the next cohort, not the 2026 GL test for September 2027 entry.

Eligibility

Applicants in the correct chronological cohort for Year 7 who achieve the Qualifying Standard or Priority Standard in the school's admission test.

Score policy

Two multiple-choice papers covering verbal ability, numerical reasoning and non-verbal reasoning. Standardised test scores determine the Qualifying Standard and Priority Standard, which are set by the Admissions Committee rather than being fixed pass marks.

Registration

GIAS does not publish the current test registration URL.

Priority postcode districts: GL1, GL2, GL3, GL4.

These districts affect particular priority categories, not eligibility for every place. Category ii applies to Pupil Premium applicants meeting the Qualifying Standard in GL1-GL4; category iii can admit qualifying premium applicants outside these districts up to the stated percentage. Category v also names GL1-GL4; ask the school whether that residence rule applies to both score-standard groups, and confirm your full address with it. Do not infer a 2027 premium quota from the historical 2025 percentage example.

Priority order not confirmed in this guide. Criterion v covers applicants who have met the Qualifying Standard, or who have achieved the Priority Standard and live in GL1, GL2, GL3 or GL4. Ask the school whether the postcode condition applies to both groups, and whether places within a category go by test score or random allocation.
