For the 2024 admissions process (for current Year 5 students), the Gloucestershire Grammar Schools will use GL Assessment as the provider for their admissions test.

You can find familiarization materials here.
- The test, provided by GL Assessment, examines students' verbal and non-verbal abilities, English skills, and mathematics.
- It consists of two papers, one focusing on verbal skills (including comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning), and the other assessing non-verbal reasoning and mathematical knowledge, skills, and understanding.
- Each test session lasts approximately one hour.
