Aylesbury Grammar School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after boys — Looked after boys and previously looked after boys.
2. 2Up to 6 places: LAC/PLAC or Pupil Premium catchment boys scoring 115-120 — Up to 6 places to looked after or previously looked after boys living anywhere, or other boys living in the catchment area of the school as at and continuously from 1 September of the year preceding entry to Year 7 in September, who are eligible for Pupil Premium as at the application deadline and are expected to remain eligible at their date of entry, whose standardised score in the Secondary Transfer Test is 115 to 120 inclusive (i.e. up to 6 marks below the threshold required for other applicants of 121) and have not been deemed qualified by selection review or have not submitted a selection review. In this category, looked after or previously looked after children will be prioritised over other children, with the tie breaker being used where necessary.
3. 3Catchment boys eligible for Pupil Premium — Boys living in the catchment area of the school as at and continuously from 1 September of the year preceding entry to Year 7 in September who are eligible for Pupil Premium as at the application deadline.
4. 4Siblings of boys on roll at Aylesbury Grammar School — Siblings of boys who will be on roll of Aylesbury Grammar School at the date of the applicant boy's entry to Year 7 in September.
5. 5Siblings of girls on roll at Aylesbury High School — Siblings of girls who will be on roll of Aylesbury High School at the date of the applicant boy's entry to Year 7 in September.
6. 6Siblings of boys previously on roll at Aylesbury Grammar School — Siblings of boys who have previously been on the roll of Aylesbury Grammar School.
7. 7Children of staff — Qualified children of Aylesbury Grammar School staff employed on a permanent contract by the school for at least two years at the time of application, or where the member of staff has been recruited to fill a post for which there is a demonstrable skills shortage.
8. 8Exceptional medical or social needs — Boys who have exceptional medical or social needs which can only be met at Aylesbury Grammar School, and no other school, where their application for admission is supported by written evidence from a doctor, social worker, educational welfare officer or other appropriately qualified person confirming this.
9. 9Catchment area boys — Boys living in the catchment area of the school as at and continuously from 1 September of the year preceding entry to Year 7 in September.
10. 10All other boys — All other boys.

If two applications tie: Where the number of eligible applicants within each over-subscription category above exceeds the number of places available, places will be allocated by reference to the distance between the applicant boy's home address (as defined by this policy) and the middle of the school's main entrance gate on Walton Road in a straight line, with those living closest receiving higher priority. Where two applicants live exactly the same distance from the school, the order in which places will be allocated will be determined by random selection supervised by a person independent of the school.

PAN of 186 applies to Year 7; Year 12 PAN is 17 with a separate oversubscription criteria list (section 18) for external candidates, not included above as the main ordered list relates to Year 7 normal admission round. Additional up to 6 places above PAN available for Year 12 for looked after/Pupil Premium boys meeting minimum GCSE thresholds.
