Admissions into Year 7 updated June 2010

Pate's is a free grammar school: we do not charge fees and children applying to enter Pate's do not have to live within any particular catchment area. Pupils normally join the School at one of two stages, though applications for admission can be made to the Admissions Officer for intermediate entry.

Year 7: there are 120 places available each year. Admission is competitive and the Entrance Examination will be held at Pate's on Saturday morning 9th October 2010 for entry the following September. If parents wish their children to take the tests, they must fill in the special Registration Form and return it to the Admissions Officer (by 1st October 2010 at the latest) and also make a separate application to Gloucestershire LEA, using the LEA’s normal application form by 31st October 2010. There will be a meeting for parents and pupils of the new Year 7 (i.e. those who have been offered a place in the first year at Pate's) in June 2011. Further details
