Explore Adaptive →State grammar provision for Shropshire and Telford is concentrated in Newport, where Adams' Grammar School (boys, with day and boarding places) and Newport Girls' High School both select via the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test set by GL Assessment. It is two multiple-choice papers covering English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning, sat in September at the start of Year 6.
Both schools give admissions priority to children living in Telford & Wrekin. Note that Thomas Telford School is a non-selective all-ability school that admits by a separate banding assessment, not the grammar 11+.
The Shropshire, Wolverhampton & Walsall (SWW) Consortium — Part of the West Midlands Grammar Schools Partnership. One result can be used across partnership schools; priority for Telford & Wrekin residents.
No — Adams' and Newport Girls' High now use GL Assessment through the West Midlands partnership; older 'CEM' guidance is out of date.
No — it is a state, all-ability school that admits by a non-verbal-reasoning banding test rather than the selective 11+.
Yes — one GL Assessment West Midlands/SWW result is used for both Adams' (boys) and Newport Girls' High (girls).
