Girls who live outside the school’s designated catchment area and are eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant will then be ranked in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.
130 places will be assigned to girls who scored most highly in the entrance tests, in rank order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.
Of the remaining eligible girls, those who live within the school’s designated catchment area and are ineligible for the Pupil Premium will be ranked next, in order of the total of their entrance test scores, with those girls obtaining the highest scores given higher priority.
