1. Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning assessment
All registered applicants sit one in-person session on one allocated day, 3, 4 or 5 September 2026. The two GL multiple-choice papers take 30 minutes each. Their age-standardised scores are combined and ranked. Normally, candidates ranked in the top 700 have their English paper marked; the policy allows a top-900 threshold for specified oversubscription categories.
2. English marking and final ranking
For candidates whose English paper is marked, the school-set English score is combined with the Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning results and re-standardised. The school allocates places under its oversubscription criteria and 192-place PAN.

Scoring and eligibility
GL age-standardises the Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning results. The normal English-marking threshold is the top 700 combined Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning rank; specified priority applicants have a top-900 threshold. English scores are added and the results are re-standardised for candidates whose English is marked. Offers are made by rank under the published oversubscription criteria, subject to PAN 192. Meeting a test threshold does not guarantee an offer. Inner Area residence is an admissions criterion, and applicants registering from outside the area must provide evidence of an eligible new address by 7 January 2027 to be considered under the published rules.
