Grammar Schools in Slough
The Slough Consortium of Grammar Schools uses GL Assessment for the round currently open, with a move to Quest Assessments already announced for the round after.
The exam provider is changing for 2028 entry
Slough is moving from GL Assessment to Quest Assessments. The change applies from September 2028 entry onwards. Children sitting the test in autumn 2026 still take the GL Assessment paper. If your child is currently in Year 4 or below, prepare for the new format.
Where the official practice material is
GL Assessment
Free familiarisation booklets that show the question types, the timings and how the answer sheet works. GL do not release past papers, so anything sold as a GL past paper was written by somebody else.
What families in Slough need to know
- The qualifying score is 111.
- Consortium schools: Herschel Grammar, Langley Grammar, St Bernard's Catholic Grammar and Upton Court Grammar.
- Quest takes over from the test sat in September 2027, for September 2028 entry. Anyone currently in Year 4 should prepare for the Quest format, not GL.
