These tests will be taken at Colyton Grammar. Dates are not specified as the school will only assess applicants if there are places available.
Your child’s results will be used to determine their rank order.
In the case of oversubscription, priority will be given to:
– Looked after children or previously looked after children.
– Pupils who are entitled to pupil premium, including the service premium.
– Children with a higher ranking, based on the total score achieved in the tests.
In the case of a tied ranking for the last available place, proximity to the school will be taken into consideration, measured via a straight line from the main school Reception front door to the house address of the applicant (using the Devon mapping system).

As part of the assessment process for late transfer entry, your child will be asked to complete the CEM Select assessment.
The test contains a number of unusual question formats that your child is unlikely to have encountered before. These include drag and drop digits and sentence auto-completes.
The assessment will be divided into a series of highly time-pressured sections. Your child doesn’t necessarily need to complete all the questions in each section to do well.
