Wakefield
Queen Elizabeth Grammar School
Exceptional results, but a place depends on the entrance test rather than where you live — worth a look only if you are planning to sit it.

Admissions realism depends on your home postcode and the school's published allocation data. Enter your postcode on this page to get a more specific assessment, and always verify the latest policy on the school's official admissions page.
This is a selective school. Admission usually requires passing an entrance test. Check the school's admissions policy for test registration deadlines.
Watch-outs
- Selective admissions: an entrance test (usually the 11+ or equivalent) is required. Check registration and test dates well in advance.

- Add this school to your shortlist and compare with backup options
Admissions and catchment
Independent schools run their own admissions outside the council process, so there is no catchment area or last offer distance to compare against. Registration and assessment dates are on the school’s website.
