The Highcrest Academy

Year 7 Admissions 2025

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.

All banding tests for admission into Year 7 for 2024 and 2025 have taken place. If you require further information for banding tests, please contact our reception team on 01494 529866 and ask for the Banding Test Co-ordinator.
