After the results
- Read the result carefully. A pass or qualifying score makes your child eligible for a grammar school. It does not guarantee a place: oversubscribed grammar schools still rank qualifying children by their admission rules, often distance or score.
- Apply to your council by Saturday 31 October 2026. The test registration is not a school application. Name every school you want, in your real order of preference, on your home council's secondary application (how applying works).
- Check last year's cut-offs. Look at how far away the last child offered a place lived, or the lowest score offered, at each school you are thinking of naming (how to read a last distance offered).
- Offers arrive on Monday 1 March 2027. If you are not offered a grammar school you named, you can join its waiting list and appeal.
