About the School

 

Address — Watford Grammar School for Boys, Rickmansworth Road, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD18 7JF

Type of school — Boys, partially selective, grammar school 

Cost — Free

Pupils in school — 1400+

Places available in year 7 — 220+ (25% of which are selective)

Average applicants per place — 4 or more

Catchment area —  Watford Grammar School for Boys has a catchment area.

The admission area comprises the Watford area and the ‘rest of the admission area’. The postcodes in each area are not listed in priority order. All postcodes are treated equally within each area unless there is a need to operate the tie-break.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

Community places:

  1.  Looked After Children and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order).

  2.  Boys whose normal home address is nearest to the school and who would not be allocated a place under any other criterion (up to 22 places, 10% of the total admissions). 

  3. Boys with a parent who is a permanent member of the school staff. To qualify, the member of staff must either have been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission is made or have been recruited to fill a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage. In all cases, the member of staff must have parental responsibility (sole or shared) for the boy. 

  4. Boys with a sibling (brother) enrolled at the school, excluding brothers who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13).

  5.  Boys with a sibling (sister) enrolled at Watford Grammar School for Girls, excluding sisters who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13). 

  6. Places will then be allocated to boys in increasing distance order using straight line distance between the boy’s normal home address and the school. 

Specialist (selective) places:

  1. Boys selected on the basis of aptitude for music as measured by the school's assessment procedures, in merit order (up to 22 places, 10% of total admissions). 

  2. Boys selected by academic ability as measured by the school’s assessment procedures, in merit order (up to 56 places, 25% of total admissions).

School Summary

Watford Grammar School for Boys was established in 1704 and is an all-boys, partially-selective grammar school in Watford, Hertfordshire. The school became an academy in 2010 and is part of the South West Herts School Grammar School Consortium.

Pupils in school — 1400+

Places available in year 7 —  200 (of which 65 are selective)

Average applicants per place — 4 or more

Catchment area —  Dame Alice Owen’s School’s catchment area places priority on location and distance from the school.

In order to be considered under the school’s Entrance Exam and/or Music Test criteria, your child’s permanent home address must be within one of the listed areas below by the date of registration and also at the date of application. Children from outside of these areas are not eligible to be considered under these criteria and therefore cannot take our tests.

Catchment Area.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  1. Children looked after and children who were previously looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted.

  2. Children who were previously looked after (in state care) outside of England, but ceased to be so because they were adopted.

  3. The twenty-two children whose permanent home address is closest to the School.

  4. Children who have a sibling attending the school at the date of application.

  5. Children demonstrating musical aptitude as determined by the Governors' Assessment Procedure (not more than 10 places).

  6. Up to 65 children selected by academic ability, having taken the two parts of the Governors' Entrance Examination. Of these we will admit:

    • As many children from the Islington Priority Area as, when added to the number from that area already admitted under other criteria, will ensure that at least 20 children are admitted from Islington.

    • As many children from the non-Islington Local Priority Areas as, when added to the number from Islington already admitted under the paragraph above, will total not more than 65 children. 

  7. Children of Staff.

  8. Children whose permanent home address is closest to the School at the date of application.

School Summary

Dame Alice Owen’s School is a large, partially selective, mixed school in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. The school was founded in 1886 and became an academy in 2012. It takes some of its students selectively based on musical and academic ability.

Catchment area —  Watford Grammar School for Girls has a catchment area.

The admission area comprises the Watford area and the ‘rest of the admission area’. The postcodes in each area are not listed in priority order. All postcodes are treated equally within each area unless there is a need to operate the tie-break.

Oversubscription policy — Before the application of oversubscription criteria, students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) which names the school and who have passed the assessment will be admitted. As a result of this the published admissions number will be reduced accordingly.

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

Community places:

  1.  Looked After Children and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or a special guardianship order). 

  2. Girls whose normal home address is nearest to the school and who would not be allocated a place under any other criterion (up to 21 places, 10% of the total admissions). 

  3. Girls with a parent who is a permanent member of the school staff. To qualify, the member of staff must either have been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission is made or have been recruited to fill a post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.

  4. Girls with a sibling (sister) enrolled at the school, excluding sisters who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13). 

  5. Girls with a sibling (brother) enrolled at Watford Grammar School for Boys, excluding brothers who first entered the school in the Sixth Form (Year 12 or Year 13). 

  6. Places will then be allocated to girls in increasing distance order using straight line distance between the family’s normal home address and the school.

    Specialist (selective) places 

  7. Girls selected on the basis of aptitude for music as measured by the school's assessment procedures, in merit order (up to 21 places, 10% of total admissions). 

  8. Girls selected by academic ability as measured by the school’s assessment procedures, in merit order (52 places, 25% of total admissions).

 Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be determined as follows:

  5. Children for whom it can be demonstrated that there is a compelling medical reason for attending the school.

  6. 25% of places shall be available in merit order by reference to academic ability. In order to be considered under this criterion, a verbal reasoning test and a mathematics test must have been taken, the results of which will be used to assess academic ability. No minimum score will be required to gain admission, places being offered strictly in descending order of each applicant's standardised test score.

  7. Up to 10% of places to be allocated on the basis of proven aptitude in music to be determined by prescribed tests.
