Slough Consortium 11+ arrangements for September 2023 entry

The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools consists of Herschel Grammar School, Langley Grammar School, St Bernard’s Catholic Grammar School and Upton Court Grammar School. The purpose of the Consortium is to coordinate arrangements for entry to Year 7 through a common 11+ examination.
We operate a shared 11+ entrance examination process using the same examination papers and common eligibility criteria. The 11+ examination for entry in September 2023 was held on Saturday 17 September 2022.
Please note that registration for the 11+ examination closed on 12th June 2022.
Results of the 11+ examination held in September 2022
The results for the 11+ examination for the Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools were made available on Friday 14th October.
Parents should log on to the portal at https://slough.applicaa.com to view their child’s 11+ result. They should use the email and password they set when registering their child for the examination.
To see the result – please click on ‘update’ under the test results icon.
Children who scored 111 or above in the test, were eligible to be considered for a place at any of the Slough Consortium grammar schools that were named on their Common Application Form.
There were far more eligible applicants than there were places available, so schools applied their oversubscription criteria to decide how the places were offered. If you have questions about any particular school’s admissions arrangements, please contact that school’s admissions officer directly.
You must complete your Common Application Form by 31st October, listing the schools to which you wish to apply in your genuine order of preference. If a school requires an additional supplementary information form to be completed to help them decide on how to allocate places, this must be submitted to the school concerned by 31st October. Returning a supplementary form is simply providing the school with further required information – it does not guarantee that you will be offered a place.
You will be able to find out which school your child has been allocated on 1st March 2023.

Eligibility for entry to the Slough grammar schools
Admission to any of the four grammar schools in Slough is based on reaching an eligibility score in the consortium 11+ examination. A standardised score of 111 or above represents approximately the top third of the 11+ examination outcome range.
Any child reaching a score of 111 on a standardised scale is deemed potentially suitable for the kind of education offered by the grammar schools in Slough and is eligible for consideration for admission. However, each of the four schools have different criteria for admission in the event that they receive more applications than they have places available and you must check each school's admissions policy carefully.
