Admissions 2026

Gloucestershire Grammar Schools Admissions Test Timeline for September 2026 Entry 

If your child is looking for a secondary school place for September 2026 or 2027, come and join us for our next Open Morning on Thursday 1st May 2025.  

Our doors will open at 8.45am with a Headteacher Welcome Talk at 9am in our Hall.  You will then be able to go on a guided tour of our school with some of our brilliant students.  

There is no need to book, please just arrive on the day.  If you are travelling by car, please bear in mind we are a city centre school so shared car travel could help ease congestion and please park courteously to our neighbours. 

We look forward to meeting you.
