Please note important changes to the timetable for selective tests for September 2013 entry.
For entry to selective schools in September 2013 only those children born between, 1 September 2001 – 31 August 2002 are eligible to take the optional selective tests.
If you wish your child to be entered for a selective test, you should discuss this with your child’s Head Teacher first. Within Birmingham there are two optional selective tests that your child can sit. Selective tests are held for places at one of the grammar schools within the ‘Consortium of Grammar Schools in Birmingham’ and there is also a separate test for places at Handsworth Grammar School (Boys).
In addition, you may also wish your child to sit selective tests for schools outside Birmingham. Please note that other Local Authorities have different closing dates and admission arrangements and you are advised to contact them for further information (see Appendix 3 for contact details).
An application to sit the selective tests is not an expression of preference for the school concerned. You must also complete the preference form of your home local authority (i.e. the local authority to which you pay your council tax).
Consortium of Grammar Schools in Birmingham The following grammar schools are within the Consortium of Grammar Schools in Birmingham:
• Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School for Boys
• King Edward VI Aston School
• King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys
• King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls
• King Edward VI Five Ways School
• King Edward VI Handsworth School
• Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls
Entry requirements Optional tests for the admission of pupils to The King Edward VI Grammar Schools, Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School and Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls will take place on Saturday 8 September 2012.
If you wish your child to be entered for the selective test for one of the above schools then you should complete and return the Request for Optional Test form by 16:00 hours (4pm) on Friday 13 July 2012 at the latest. You must attach a passport sized photograph of your child to your form for identification purposes.
Please note that if your form has not been received by Friday 13 July 2012, for whatever reason, your child will not be permitted to take the tests.
Admissions Timetable
The admission process for year 7 entry in September follows the timetable below each year, with only minor changes in specific deadlines. During March, once these deadlines and dates have been agreed, they will be entered in the date column on the right hand side.

As you may be aware, as a result of changes to the national admissions code parents must be informed of the results of their child’s performance in any entrance examination to a selective school before being required to express their preferences for secondary school admission.
The 11+ prospectus contains information for students wishing to join Handsworth Grammar School in year 7 and can be obtained at Open Evenings. If you are unable to attend an Open Evening you can download or order a prospectus below. If you require an application form please view the admissions section.
You can use BOFA 11+ to help prepare for the exam:
Year 7 - The test for September 2013 entry will be held on 8th September 2012
All applicants for a place in Year 7 at King Edward VI Aston School will need to complete a 'Consortium of Birmingham Grammar Schools' test registration form, available from the school or by post from the Admissions Officer, Schools of King Edward the Sixth Foundation Office, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham B15 2UD. Alternatively, you can apply on-line atwww.kingedwardthesixth.org where the full timetable for September 2013 entrants can also be found.
All applicants, whether they live in Birmingham or not, will also need to complete their home Local Education Authority (LEA) preference form. Up to six schools can be named on this form in a ranked order of preference. It is important not just to write King Edward VI Schools as each of the King Edward VI Schools counts as a separate choice (Aston, Camp Hill, Handsworth or Five Ways). If a school is not listed on the LEA form you cannot be offered a place.
You can use BOFA 11+ to help prepare for the exam:
Due to the change of date for the 11+ Examination, the school will be holding an Information Evening on Tuesday 10thJuly. The Headmaster will be speaking at 6.00 pm. The presentation will last approximately 40 minutes.

Please note that there will be no tour of the school on this evening. Tours will be available, as usual, on the Open Days which are Friday 21st September (evening) and Saturday 22nd September (morning).
