Secondary school tests, assessments and supplementary forms
For starting Secondary School at year 7 in September 2027
Some schools will need your child to sit a test or be assessed for a place.
If you complete a supplementary/additional form for any school, you must also name it as one of your preferences on your application if you want to be considered for a place at the school. Completing a supplementary/additional form alone is not a valid application, and you will not be considered for a place at the school unless it has also been named as a preference in your application.
For the Selective Eligibility Test you'll find out the results before the closing date for applications. If your child is eligible for a place, you can put that school on your application.
The table below informs you when you have to register for these tests. Contact the school to find out more and register.
After you've registered, the school will send you invitations to tests or assessments.
Success in tests or assessments for any of these schools does not guarantee an offer of a place.
Please ensure you verify these dates via the school's own website.
