Scores: qualifying and offered
A qualifying score puts a child in the running. It is not an offer. The lowest score offered shows how far down the list places went that year, and a child on that exact score did not always get a place.
Qualifying scores
No qualifying score found on the official pages we checked on 27 September 2026. See the page we checked.
Scores offered a place
No lowest score offered a place found on the official pages we checked on 27 September 2026. See the page we checked.
We do not predict a 2028 cut-off or convert raw marks into scores from this data. To see how age changes a standardised score, try the age standardisation calculator.
Catchment and distance
Many grammar schools give priority by where you live. Always check your address against the official policy or map.
No catchment or priority-area summary found on the official pages we checked on 27 September 2026. See the page we checked.
Furthest distance offered
No past distance cut-offs found on the official pages we checked on 27 September 2026. See the page we checked.
We never mix straight-line, road and walking distances, and a past furthest distance is not a promise for 2028.
Places and demand
How many Year 7 places there are, and how many children applied or sat the test, as published. We do not turn these into a chance of a place.

The DfE did not publish Progress 8 for 2024 to 2025. Grammar schools select by ability, so high results partly reflect who is admitted.
Appeals
A refused school place can be appealed to an independent panel; follow the decision letter and admission authority procedure. An admission appeal is different from asking for a test to be re-marked or for a selection review.
We did not find a school-specific appeal deadline for September 2028 entry. The deadline will be in the offer letter.
