This guide is not written yet in preparation

Rather than fill the page with something approximately right, here is the outline it will follow. Every dated fact in it will be written from the published admissions arrangements listed at the bottom of this page, for the current admissions round, and will say where it came from.

What this guide will cover

Which schools are selective hereThe full list, with the admission authority for each, because they are not all the same body.
Who can sit the testResidence, catchment and out-of-area rules, and what happens if you move during the process.
RegisteringWhere you register, when it opens, and the closing date. This is the deadline parents miss.
What is in the papersSubjects, question formats, timings, and whether the papers are multiple choice or written.
Test day and resultsWhen the test is sat, when results are released, and what the result actually tells you.
How places are allocatedHow the score is used, how oversubscription is resolved, and where appeals fit.
The calendarEvery date for the current cycle in one table, with the source document for each.
