ESErmysted's Grammar School 11+ admissions

• Ermysted's Grammar School entrance test

  School-specific assessment · Future Stories Community Enterprise Ltd (FSCE) · Two in-person papers at Ermysted's Grammar School. One paper has English and Mathematics questions with multiple-choice options; the other has English and Mathematics questions answered with short written responses. The responses are automatically scanned and marked, then the two paper scores are standardised and age-adjusted.

  The two paper scores are standardised and adjusted for age, then added. The required standard is set by the Admissions Committee based on the main test cohort; no fixed numerical pass score is stated in the 2027-28 policy. Only candidates reaching the required standard are considered, but reaching it does not guarantee an offer. The school applies its published oversubscription categories and 128-place PAN.

Eligibility

Boys born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016 may sit the entrance test once and must reach the required standard to be considered.

Score policy

The raw score from each paper is standardised, adjusted for candidates’ ages and then added to form the overall score. The Admissions Committee sets the required standard from the performance of the main entrance-test cohort. The 2027-28 Year 7 policy gives no fixed numeric cut-off; reaching the standard is necessary for consideration but does not guarantee an offer.

Registration

GIAS does not publish the current test registration URL.

Published area: Areas served by primary schools in Beamsley, Bradley, Burnsall, Carleton, Cracoe, Embsay, Gargrave, Grassington, Kettlewell, Kirkby-in-Malhamdale, Skipton, Thornton-in-Craven and Threshfield, as mapped in Appendix 2.

This is a home-address catchment, not a requirement to attend one of those primary schools. Use the detailed council map or ask the school to confirm the full address. For first-round Year 7 applications, use the home at test registration or an evidenced move completed by the SIF deadline, 27 November 2026. Later moves affect allocations only after March. For shared care, use the majority of Sunday-Thursday school nights; the address must be the principal permanent home, with owner occupation or a tenancy lasting at least six months. Appendix 1 requires one Group A and one Group B address document, with separate evidence options for moves. Owning an in-area property while the principal home is elsewhere does not qualify.

EHCP-named admissions reduce available places. Other boys must reach the cohort-based required standard. The order is looked-after or previously looked-after children, including policy-defined overseas state-care/adoption cases; catchment applicants; then outside-catchment applicants. Within the catchment and outside-catchment categories, priority is Pupil Premium at application, then a sibling attending in September 2027, then distance. First-round application time means test registration. The sibling definition includes half, adopted, foster and step brothers, or the son of a parent's partner in the same family home. Distance is straight-line from a fixed dwelling point to the nearest school-grounds entrance; shared-front-door dwellings use the building front door. Equal eligibility and distance for the final places uses random allocation with an independent witness. If claiming a priority, return the SIF and evidence by 27 November 2026 and name the school on the CAF; the SIF is not an application. Test registration closed at noon on 31 August 2026. Use the linked 2027-28 policy and confirm any changes with the school.
