Admission & applications
numbers for last 3 years.
Parents are always interested in how many people apply for each grammar school and this information, for the last 3 years, can be found on this page.
The number of applications can fluctuate each year for a number of reasons including how many parents applied the previous year. Sometimes schools get a lot of applications one year and parents believe that with so many applications the previous year that it may not be worth applying and so the numbers can drop.
​
Application and admission numbers should be seen in combination with the overall school entrance criteria. You should familiarise yourself with all details.
