Year 7 Admission 2026
Pupils entering the Academy since September 2013 have been admitted following the ‘new’ Admissions Policy.
The Highcrest Academy is an All Ability Academy. This is a unique choice for parents in Buckinghamshire. To achieve a balanced intake reflecting the ability of all students who apply, we ask all applicants to take a Banding Test, (Non Verbal Reasoning Test). Students will then be arranged in four bands, each representing 25% of the ability range as indicated by the Banding Test. Places will be offered equally to each band applying the criteria set out in the Admissions policy.
We have completed our series of nine test sessions for entry in September 2026. The next series of Banding Tests will begin during the Summer Term 2026. Please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions document. If you have further questions, please email bandingtests@highcrestacademy.org.uk, but note that this email is only monitored periodically at the moment.
