Selection route

  • West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test

    Shared test group · GL Assessment · Two paper-based multiple-choice papers, each approximately 50 to 60 minutes including instructions and examples, with individually timed sections and separate answer sheets

    The partnership test page publishes age-standardised weights of 50 per cent for English and verbal reasoning, 25 per cent for non-verbal reasoning and 25 per cent for mathematics. Warwickshire school policies allow school-selected weightings, so a shared sitting does not establish identical totals for every school. Check the intended school's entry-year method. There is no single route-wide offer threshold: each partner school applies its own qualifying scores and oversubscription rules. Sitting or passing the shared test does not guarantee an offer.

    Check the official test registration page
Eligibility
Girls born 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016 may apply for September 2027 entry. The child must be female, must meet the school's priority-circle residency rule where applicable, must be registered for and complete the 11+ test by the stated deadline, and the parent/carer must name the school on an on-time Common Application Form.
Score policy
The September 2026 entrance test for September 2027 entry contains English, Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics. Results are standardised and weighted, with the school determining the weightings for the year. The South Warwickshire Committee of Reference sets the Automatic Qualifying Score and Required Minimum Academic Standard from the cohort results, applications and PAN, so no fixed 2027 numeric score is published in the policy.
Oversubscription
EHCP-named children meeting the Required Minimum Academic Standard; then looked-after and previously looked-after children; priority-circle children eligible for Free School Meals/Pupil Premium, with up to 19 places in that category; priority-circle children at or above the Automatic Qualifying Score; outside-priority-circle children at or above that score; then children below the Automatic Qualifying Score but above the Required Minimum Academic Standard. Higher scores rank within categories, then straight-line distance and a computerised random tie-break if distances are equal.
Registration
GIAS does not publish the current test registration URL.
