Gloucestershire Grammar School Entrance Test

Please be advised that the Grammar School Entrance Test was sat on Saturday 17 October 2020 and if your child did not sit this test, they cannot be considered for a place at a grammar school.

However, the grammar schools usually hold a late test. The late test is organised by the grammar school themselves so please contact them directly for all information in regards to this.
