aptitude in music, drama and sport and a further 10% of places (17 pupils) to be allocated
for technological aptitude.

The Governors offer places each September to 170 pupils.
Parents must apply direct to the School for a place for their son/daughter using the
Chancellor’s application form.

available, the following criteria will be applied, in the order of priority set out below,
to decide which pupils to admit. It is important that parents of pupils from schools not

irrespective of the primary school attended, whether in County or out of County.

weighting will be given to aptitude in each of the three areas.
- Pupils with a technological aptitude (e.g. skills In computing,
design, mathematics, science, etc.). Applicants under this category will have to supply
