How admission works
The school is part of the West Midlands Grammar Schools partnership and admits through its shared entrance test, which is provided by GL Assessment. Children sit two multiple-choice papers of about 50 to 60 minutes, made up of short timed sections in English comprehension, verbal reasoning, maths and non-verbal reasoning. There is no writing, and answers are recorded on a separate answer sheet. Scores are standardised for age, and the results are weighted 50% English and verbal reasoning, 25% non-verbal reasoning and 25% maths.
After looked-after children, the school reserves up to 30% of places (currently 45) for girls receiving Pupil Premium, giving first priority within that group to those attending a state-funded primary school in Walsall; the school has no defined catchment area otherwise.
Key dates and stats (September 2027 entry)
- Year 7 places: 150
- Registration: Closed 4pm on 26 June 2026 for most member schools (Warwickshire-registered schools, e.g. King Edward VI School (Warwickshire), may have a later deadline)
