Complete list of all 4 grammar schools in the Slough Consortium. School details, GL Assessment 11 Plus test information, addresses, entry requirements, and preparation advice for every Slough grammar school.
Slough has 4 grammar schools — all co-educational — operating as the Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools. A single registration and one test sitting covers applications to all four schools. The consortium switched from CEM to GL Assessment from the 2023/24 admissions cycle onwards.
The 11+ consists of 2 multiple-choice papers, each approximately 60 minutes. Paper 1 covers English comprehension, technical English, and Verbal Reasoning. Paper 2 covers Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics. The qualifying standardised score is 111 (top 35% of the cohort). Reaching 111 makes a child eligible but does not guarantee a place — all four schools are heavily oversubscribed.
Every grammar school in the Slough Consortium, grouped by area. Includes addresses, Year 7 intake numbers, and key admissions information for 11 Plus families.
A co-educational academy converter and part of The Schelwood Trust, located in central Slough. Herschel uses a 4-mile catchment radius from the school site — covering Slough, Windsor, Taplow, Farnham Common, and Langley. Within the catchment, places are allocated by proximity to the school. Up to 10 additional places are reserved for Pupil Premium-eligible children within 10 miles. Children of permanent staff employed for 2+ years also receive priority. Any remaining places are filled by rank order of 11+ performance.
A co-educational academy converter and the largest grammar school in Slough with 180 Year 7 places. Langley Grammar uses a three-tier priority area system for place allocation. Priority Area 1 (SL3 7/8/9/0 postcodes) receives up to 100 places. Priority Area 2 covers wider Slough and nearby boroughs including parts of Uxbridge, Hounslow, and Windsor. Priority Area 3 extends further to areas including Bracknell, Maidenhead, and parts of Harrow and Ealing. Applicants must have been resident at their address for at least 6 months before the CAF deadline.
The only co-educational Catholic grammar school in England, founded in 1897 by the Bernardine Sisters of the Order of St Benedict. A voluntary-aided school that welcomes pupils of all faiths and none, but gives highest priority to practising baptised Catholic children with a priest's reference. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) is required in addition to the Common Application Form. After Catholic applicants, priority extends to other Christian denominations, then children of other faiths. Pupils from Slough Catholic primary schools also receive consideration.
Formed in 1982 by the merger of Slough Grammar School (boys) and Slough High School (girls), Upton Court Grammar is now an academy converter within the Pioneer Educational Trust. It has several distinctive admissions features: up to 20 places are reserved for Pupil Premium-eligible children, and feeder school priority is given to pupils from Foxborough Primary School and Trevelyan Middle School. After these priorities, up to 120 places are allocated by rank order of 11+ exam results, with remaining places filled by distance from the school.
