Admission
As a grammar school, the school has a selective admissions procedure. Girls must achieve an exceptionally high mark in the 11+ exam for admission to the Lower School, or be expected to do well at GCSE to be admitted to the Sixth Form. Boys and girls from other schools may attend in the Sixth Form, after an interview process and proof of academic prowess after GCSE result publication.
Students attend from all around the county, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cirencester and the Forest of Dean being the most prominent areas.
