How catchment works at Upton Court Grammar School

Upton Court Grammar School is a super-selective grammar school, so it does not reserve places for families living nearby. Every applicant sits Slough Consortium 11+, qualifiers are ranked from the highest score down, and offers run down that list until the co-educational places are filled. A child in Slough and a child fifteen miles away are treated identically, the only thing that separates them is the mark on the day.

After scoring 111+, places go by looked-after, up to 20 pupil-premium, staff, two feeder schools, then all remaining children ranked by distance to the school. Home-to-school distance is used only to break ties between two children who share the exact same qualifying score.

Bottom line: there is no catchment for Upton Court Grammar School. Put everything into the 11+ score, a strong enough mark earns a place from anywhere in the region.
