Year 7 Admission 2027
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.
There will be a series of nine Banding Tests for entry into Year 7 in September 2027. Please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions document and Year 5 letter linked below. If you have any further questions, please email bandingtests@highcrestacademy.org.uk, please allow 3 working days for a reply.
