How the test works
Two papers sat on one day in September of Year 6.
How places are given
Each school sets a qualifying score, then applies its own oversubscription criteria, which can include priority for disadvantaged or local applicants.
How to register and apply
Register for the test between May and late June of Year 5, then name the schools on your Gloucestershire secondary application by 31 October — a child who qualifies but is not named on the form will not get an offer.
Good to know
The Crypt School in Gloucester has run its own test rather than the shared one; check its admissions page for the current arrangement.
