Oversubscription policy - Candidates will only be considered eligible for admission if they pass the 11+ exams.
Where qualifying applications for admission exceed the number of places available, places will be allocated in the following order of priority:
Looked After Children/Previously Looked After Children who achieve the qualifying score by rank order of standardised score;
Boys in receipt of Pupil Premium, including children of service families, on the date of their Entrance Exam. The required academic standard will be 5% lower for Pupil Premium boys.
Boys who are on roll on the date of the Entrance Exam at one of the primary schools on the designated list.
Rank order according to the result of the entrance test (assuming the applicant hasreached the required academic standard). In the event of a tie-break, to decide which of two equally scoring children are admitted the school will use distance from the school
School Summary
Adams’ Grammar School was founded in 1656 by William Adams, a wealthy member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (hence its name). It is one of the UK’s top grammar schools with common league table topping exam results. The school is one of only 38 boarding schools in the UK and is among a very small group of selective, state funded, boarding schools. This means that you only pay the fees of boarding if your child attends the schools; all education is free.
Boy’s can choose to either board or attend the day school and girls can join for the sixth form (ages 16-18) only.
Back in 2018 the school changed its name from Adams’ Grammar School (AGS) to Haberdashers’ Adams Grammar School.
Ofsted rated this school as ‘outstanding’ in 2013. Find their reports here.
