Waiting list intelligence
For September 2026 entry, WGHS says waiting-list places will be offered in rank order to girls with scores from 204 to 208, as places become available.
The school says its waiting list is ranked strictly by test score.
Common mistakes parents make
Misconceptions we hear most often about this school
There is no fee: WGHS is a maintained selective grammar school, not an independent school.
Qualifying as selective-eligible is only the first hurdle. Final allocation depends on oversubscription criteria, and distance from the school is frequently the deciding factor.
A qualifying or strong test score does not automatically mean an immediate Year 7 offer; waiting-list movement continues after National Offer Day.
Parents often assume the highest scorers get priority. In practice, once a child meets the selective threshold, proximity to the school can matter more than raw score.
External Sixth Form entry is possible, but places for new Year 12 students are capped.
This means there's no single pass mark to aim for. Preparation should focus on performing strongly across all areas rather than targeting a specific number.
