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 at one of our next Open Events:  

Open Morning - Monday 6th October 2025 (8:45-10:30) 

Open Morning - Tuesday 7th October 2025 (8:45 - 10:30)

Open Evening - Wednesday 8th October (17:00 - 20:00)

There will be Welcome Talks in the Hall followed by a guided tour of our school with some of our brilliant students.  

There is no need to book, please just arrive on your preferred 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.

From September 2025 onwards; if you have missed the registration date for the entrance test in September 2025, there is a Late Test in January 2026.  Please contact us at admissions@denmarkroad.org to register your interest.  Please note, parents will still need to check our website in January for the final testing details.  

Please note that the Late Test is to give your child an opportunity to join the Waiting List.  Regrettably, they will not be able to be offered a place on National Allocation Day, due to the timescales involved.  

Please see the documet below for the Missed Test Registration Process.

Please note : GCC strongly encourage you to accept the school place you have been offered, even if you go on another school’s waiting list, to ensure your child has a school place in September 2026.
