How catchment works at Wolverhampton Girls' High School

Wolverhampton Girls' High School is a super-selective grammar school, so it does not reserve places for families living nearby. Every applicant sits Wolverhampton 11+ (GL), qualifiers are ranked from the highest score down, and offers run down that list until the girls places are filled. A child in Wolverhampton and a child fifteen miles away are treated identically, the only thing that separates them is the mark on the day.

Looked-after children first, then the 25 highest-scoring Pupil Premium qualifiers, then all qualifiers by test score; distance only breaks ties. 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 Wolverhampton Girls' High School. Put everything into the 11+ score, a strong enough mark earns a place from anywhere in the region.
