What score do you need for a Birmingham grammar school?

205 qualifies for all eight schools. Places then go by each school's priority order, and in March 2026 the last score offered to children with no priority ranged from 216 at KE Handsworth Boys to 255 at KE Camp Hill Girls.

How is the cut-off estimate worked out?

It is the range of the March offer lines the King Edward VI Foundation published for 2023 to 2026 entry, for the school and group you pick. Lines move every year, so it is a guide, not a promise.
