You are here: Main School ● Admissions ● Admissions Overview ● 11+ Applications For Entry Into Year 7 (The 11+ Procedure)
The Eleven plus selection procedure is designed to determine whether or not children in the autumn term of their final year at primary school are suitable for admission to a grammar school. Parents should note that meeting the academic requirements for entry to the School is not, in itself, a guarantee of an offer of a place.
In order to register, the School's 11+ Application Form and the Local Authority Common or Secondary Application form (CAF or SAF) must both be completed.
Registration for September 2022 Year 7 entry will open online on Tuesday 20 April 2021 at 10am. No registrations can be accepted before that time. If you require a paper copy of the application form, please contact admissions@bishopwordsworths.org.uk
