Type of school — Girls’, Roman Catholic, grammar school

Cost — Free

Pupils in school — 1000+

Places available in year 7 — 150+

Average applicants per place — 8 or more

Catchment area —  Upton Hall School does not have a set catchment area. However, to break a tie, priority is given based on location and distance from the school. Preference will be given to children with the shortest distance from their home to the school as measured by Wirral Local Authority’s computer mapping system.

Oversubscription policy — In each of the identified criteria below, a requirement of applicants is that they have passed the entrance examinations.

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

  2. Girls, who have not been baptised into the Roman Catholic Church, whose parents wish them to have a Roman Catholic education. 

In the event of oversubscription in any of the above categories, places will be allocated in order of merit based on the score in the Examination. If there are several candidates at the 156th place with equal marks in the order of merit, priority will be given to those girls whose homes are nearest the school. 

School Summary

Upton Hall School was established in 1849 and is an all-girls, Roman Catholic, grammar school in  Wirral, Merseyside. The school became an academy in 2012 and it is both an International School and a training school.

Exam types:

  • English (GL).

  • Maths (GL).

  • Creative Writing (school written).

Exam length — 3 x 40-50 minute exams.

Pass mark — Changes each year. An average of the two GL Assessment multiple choice papers (Mathematics and English reading) is used to rank each child as either A, B or C.

All candidates must also pass the school written English writing paper to be considered eligible. This pass mark also changes every year.

Other exam information:

  • The creative writing paper ask students to plan and write a descriptive/persuasive piece. Pupils will be marked on sentence structure, punctuation, composition, spelling and vocabulary.
