- Administrator
- Heckmondwike Grammar School is an academy whose Governing Body is responsible for admissions. Test registration is separate from the home local authority school-place application.
- Assessment provider
- Future Stories Community Enterprise Ltd (FSCE).
- Delivery
- The school describes multiple-choice and written-response questions, all written elements taken on one day at Heckmondwike Grammar School, and one attempt per child. English and mathematics papers are computer-marked and age-standardised; qualifying candidates have their creative writing assessed. Computer marking does not establish that children sit the test online.
After the 2026 Heckmondwike test
- The school gave 17 October 2026 as its target for online results. Follow its official result instructions and contact the admissions team if you cannot access your child's outcome. A target date does not confirm that an individual result has arrived.
- Submit a separate secondary-school application through the council where your child lives, naming Heckmondwike if you want a place. Check that council's deadline and include other suitable choices. Test registration did not apply for a school place.
- Reaching the required test standard is not a place offer. Read the school's 2027 admissions criteria; the local authority communicates the formal allocation in March. The school's own familiarisation guides explain its assessment, and private tuition is not required.

Scoring and eligibility
Component-paper scores are standardised and age-weighted. The school page says candidates with an eligible English and mathematics score have their creative writing assessed and are ranked accordingly. A numeric fixed qualifying score is not stated in the reviewed sources. Qualifying applicants are considered under the published oversubscription order and overall performance for remaining places; meeting the selective standard does not guarantee an offer.
