If you would like your child to apply for a grammar school place in Year 7, please see the following website and the website of the school you would like your child to attend. St Mary's cannot take any responsibility for any part of the parents application process.
Waiting Lists
When a new application is added to the waiting list the list must be re-ranked according to the oversubscription criteria as per our admissions policy. The date of the application is not relevant to the ranking.
If a place becomes available, then the applicant at the top of the waiting list will be offered the place. This will be done once the place becomes available. The waiting list is maintained and kept up to date at all times. As a school we will contact all those on the waiting list if they have been on the list for more than one full term to establish whether they still wish to remain on the list for that year.
