Entry into Years 8 and 9

Applications for admission into Years 8 & 9 are handled on behalf of the Governing Body by Buckinghamshire Council as part of its Co-ordinated Admissions Scheme. If you are interested in making an application, full details can be found by visiting the Buckinghamshire Council’s website.

The application process for Years 8 & 9 entry is available on the Buckinghamshire Council website.

The test for entry is computer based and will last approx. 75 minutes, including time for the examples and instructions. This is a single test, with no breaks. The test will assess verbal ability, numerical ability and non-verbal ability. A link to practice materials will be sent out prior to the testing date.

Please note: Qualification under testing will be deemed to remain current until the end of Year 9, after which a new application for admission must be made (including testing) under the Late Transfer procedure for Year 10.

Entry into Year 10

The academic suitability of candidates seeking admission into Years 10 and 11 will be assessed through tests taken at Aylesbury High School (or Aylesbury Grammar School) in English, Maths and Science, which are set and administered by Aylesbury High School. Students will be required to pass a minimum standard in all three tests in order to qualify for admission. The tests are carefully prepared and marked to ensure that the same level of ability is achieved as for Years 7,8 & 9, taking into account that the applicants are older.

We are currently full in all year groups for September 2025. Please email [email protected] for any queries.
