Admissions Policies
Admissions Policies for Entry in September 2025
Please note that our Sixth Form (day school only) becomes Co-Educational with effect from September 2025.
There are some priority areas within our existing catchment area. Priority B areas are where students have a choice of more than two grammar schools and are in reasonable walking distance to other grammar schools.
- Admissions Policy for Day Entry can be found here.
- Admissions Policy for Boarding Entry can be found here.
The Boarding Registration Form is for Year 7 only. Information about weekly boarding under the Late Transfer Procedure and Full Boarding (Year 9 and above) is available from the School.
Parents who wish to apply for a boarding place in Years 8-10, should complete the Late Transfer form when the annual testing round is open and indicate whether they would prefer a boarding place. Please note that it is very rare to have space in boarding between Year 7 entry and the Sixth Form.

This checker shows you how far each school is away from your home measured in a straight line and whether your home is within the school's catchment area: Buckinghamshire Schools Postcode Checker.
