How to apply to Bradford Grammar School

There is a simple process you need to follow which starts a school year in advance of the date you wish to apply for your child to join Bradford Grammar School.

For example, for entry into Year 6 (Juniors), applications commence when your child is in Year 5. For Year 7 (Seniors) entries, applications commence when your child is in Year 6.

Mid-year applications or applications made outside these timelines are slightly different. Please contact our Admissions Manager for further details admissions@bradfordgrammar.com.
