Admissions 2010

Admissions 2010

The process for managing our admissions for September 2010 is now underway with the 11+ tests taking place in December.

Parents of boys who have taken the test, whether in a primary school or at Wirral Grammar School will be notified of their choice of school on 1^st March 2010.

After 1^st March 2010, the next steps are:

•  If your son took the test, achieved the standard for the Grammar School but you have been allocated another school, this will be because you made that school a higher preference or possibly because the school is full after the distance criteria has been applied.  If you would still like your son to join Wirral Grammar School for Boys you should contact Mrs Tanya Fry at Wirral Grammar School AND inform Wirral Local Authority. 
• During March and April our intake numbers for September 2011 will fluctuate as parents accept or decline places in other schools.  In any event, if you contact Mrs Tanya Fry at Wirral Grammar School she will advise you accordingly. 
• If the school has reached the admission limit and places are unavailable, parents may make an appeal and any decision to admit will be made independently of the school.  
•  If your son did not achieve the standard for the Grammar School having taken the test, it is not possible for the school to re-assess until the Spring Term of 2011.  If it is your intention that your son takes this test, please notify Mrs Tanya Fry and she will keep you informed regarding testing arrangements and dates.
• The Appeals Process is for parents who feel that their son’s performance in the December tests was disadvantaged by unique personal circumstances or because a place has not been offered because the school is full.  Requests for appeals are directed to the Chairperson of the Appeals Panel; this is an independent body and it has the final say in appeal decisions. Appeal requests should posted to the school and should be marked clearly. Please note the Wirral LA will advise you of the closing date for appeals requests.

• If your son did not take the 11+ test or if you are moving into the area, please contact Mrs Tanya Fry for admissions advice.

If you have been offered a place at Wirral Grammar School for your son for September 2010 we will contact you in due course with details of arrangements for our Welcome Evening in the Summer Term and for starting school.
