School cut-offs

The latest lowest score and furthest distance each school offered places to, with the entry year. Schools use their own admission rules and sometimes their own score scales, so compare each school with its own past years rather than with other schools.

What the result shows

For the September 2026 test, the papers were marked and standardised by GL Assessment against all Consortium candidates and by age; 100 is the middle of the rangeSlough Consortium 11+ (GL Assessment): StandardisationChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools.The source says: Papers are marked by GL Assessment, who then carry out a standardisation process.View the official source. Families receive the standardised score across both papers; raw scores are not availableSlough: Results contentChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools.The source says: The 11+ result notified to you will be the standardised score across both papers. The raw scores attained by candidates are not supplied to the Consortium by GL Assessment and therefore are not available to parents.View the official source. There is no appeal against the score itself. Results come before the council application deadline so that you can decide whether to name grammar schools at all.

One mark, different rules at each school

Eligibility is shared, but each school is its own admission authority and fills its places its own way. How a place is decided depends on the school: each school's oversubscription criteria may use rank order, distance or other criteriaSlough: Score used for rankingChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools (hosted by Upton Court Grammar School).The source says: This may involve offering places in rank order, according to distance from the school, or some other criteria.View the official source. The September 2026 offers show how different that can be:

St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School and Upton Court Grammar School used admission categories, distance and score in their own combinations, as the school table above shows.

So a score that led to an offer at one school may not have at another. Compare each school with its own rules, not with the eligibility mark.

Why future figures may not line up

The consortium is changing test provider: GL Assessment for the September 2026 test (2027 entry); Quest Assessments for the September 2027 test (2028 entry)Slough: Provider change statementChecked 9 Oct 2026 against Upton Court Grammar School.The source says: 11+ test provider for September 2028 entry (exam in September 2027) The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools has contracted with Quest Assessments as the test provider for the 11+ examination to be held in September 2027.View the official source. Scores from different tests may not compare directly, so take care when comparing figures across that change. Each school's admission policy for the year your child applies is the place to check its rules.
