Children who scored 111 or above in the test, are eligible to be considered for a place at any of the Slough Consortium grammar schools that are named on their Common Application Form.
There are far more eligible applicants than there are places available, so we will apply our oversubscription criteria to decide how the places are offered. Please refer to the Admissions Policy which is available below. The Supplementary Form should be completed online by 31st October 2025. You must complete your Common Application Form by 31st October 2025, listing the schools to which you wish to apply in your genuine order of preference. 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 2nd March 2026.
APPLYING TO ST BERNARD'S
Please do take time to read the Admission Policy below. If you are considering applying to St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School you will also need to complete a Supplementary Form by 31st October 2025.

Promoting Equality of Opportunity
The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools is committed to ensuring that the four grammar schools in Slough are open to pupils from all backgrounds. However, we recognise that not all pupils who have the potential for a grammar school education will have equal access to additional support at home to help their academic development. We also realise that this inequality may apply to pupils of all abilities. To help bridge this gap and support general skill development, confidence, and subject knowledge, the Slough Consortium grammar schools are partnering with Atom Learning, a leading platform for learning for ages 7-11.
