Admission
As with the other grammar schools in Birmingham, including those of the King Edwards Foundation, admission is selective based on performance in the Eleven plus exam, with around 1000 competing for about 93 or 94 places. This number often changes or varies according to the number of candidates who originally sit the 11+ examination.
