How far offers reached

Each bar shows how far from Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.

Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.

A score of 205 or more in the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.
