Please contact admissions@bishopwordsworths.org.uk for further information
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 2023 Year 7 entry is now closed. Please contact admissions@bishopwordsworths.org.uk for further information.
Local Authority applications for September 2023 Year 7 entry open on 1 September 2022

Boys with parents/guardians on low incomes are entitled to priority when places are allocated. Applicants who, at the time of the entry exam, meet the eligibility criteria to claim for free school meals currently or in any of the previous six years and who therefore qualify for the Pupil Premium Grant must indicate that their son qualifies for Free School Meals on the 11+ Registration Form and provide documentary evidence.
Yes. See the Special Access Arrangements page.
