Admissions at a glance
First, a child needs to reach the required standard in the Bucks secondary transfer test, sat in the autumn of Year 6, or be passed at Selection Review. Qualifying does not guarantee a place. If more girls qualify than there are places, priority goes in order: looked-after and previously looked-after girls in catchment; Pupil Premium girls in catchment; a small group of near-miss Pupil Premium girls in catchment; sisters of girls at the school or boys at Aylesbury Grammar; children of staff; other in-catchment girls; then all other girls. Ties are settled by straight-line distance.
