School Summary

Adams’ Grammar School was founded in 1656 by William Adams, a wealthy member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (hence its name). It is one of the UK’s top grammar schools with common league table topping exam results. The school is one of only 38 boarding schools in the UK and is among a very small group of selective, state funded, boarding schools. This means that you only pay the fees of boarding if your child attends the schools; all education is free.

Boy’s can choose to either board or attend the day school and girls can join for the sixth form (ages 16-18) only.

Back in 2018 the school changed its name from Adams’ Grammar School (AGS) to Haberdashers’ Adams Grammar School.

Oversubscription policy —  Candidates will only be considered eligible for admission if they are deemed to be of selective ability as a result of the testing process with a score of 220 or above. 

Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  1. Looked after children and all previously looked after children who have achieved the minimum standardised qualifying score.

  2. Children who are eligible for the full Pupil Premium who achieve the qualifying score, by rank order of standardised score, but limited to, up to 20 places in this category. Children who are unsuccessful in this category may nevertheless achieve a place in the remaining category.

  3.  Any remaining places will then be awarded in rank standardised score order for those students who have qualified for entry, up to the total number of children intended to be admitted under the published admission number.

In the event of a tie, priority will be given to the child with the shortest distance from their home to the school.
