Qualifying is not an offer
A score of 205 or more lets a Birmingham grammar school consider your child. It does not give a place. Each school then fills its places in a fixed order: looked-after children, then pupil premium, then, at the six King Edward VI schools, children scoring 224 or more who live in the catchment wards, then everyone else by score.
The eight schools
| School | Intake | Places, Sept 2027 | Catchment | Last score offered to everyone else, March 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| King Edward VI Aston School | Boys | 140 | 30 wards | 217 |
| King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys | Boys | 120 | 18 wards | 254 |
| King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls | Girls | 150 | 18 wards | 255 |
| King Edward VI Five Ways School | Mixed | 180 | 15 wards | No offers |
| King Edward VI Handsworth Grammar School for Boys | Boys | 150 | 17 wards | 216 |
| King Edward VI Handsworth School for Girls | Girls | 192 | 47 wards | 219 |
| Bishop Vesey's Grammar School | Boys | 192 | Zones: 12 and 20 miles | 229 |
| Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls | Girls | 180 | None | 227 |
"Everyone else" is category 5 at the King Edward VI schools, Zone 1 children with no other priority at Bishop Vesey's, and category 3 at Sutton Coldfield Girls. Places come from each school's 2027 policy; scores from the Foundation's results and offers page.
Questions parents ask
What score do you need for a Birmingham grammar school?
205 is the qualifying score for all eight Birmingham grammar schools for September 2027 entry. Below 205 a child is not considered. At or above it, each school's priority order decides the offers. In March 2026 the last score offered to children with no priority was: KE Aston 217; KE Camp Hill Boys 254; KE Camp Hill Girls 255; KE Five Ways none (no March offers reached this group); KE Handsworth Boys 216; KE Handsworth Girls 219; Bishop Vesey's 229; Sutton Coldfield Girls 227. These lines move every year.
What is the Birmingham 11+ priority score of 224?
It applies to the six King Edward VI grammar schools only. A child scoring 224 or more who lives in the school's catchment wards is in category 4: behind categories 1 to 3 but ahead of category 5, and ranked by distance, with an older sibling at the school first. Outside the catchment, 224 gives no extra priority.
How do the King Edward VI grammar school catchment areas work?
Each King Edward VI school lists electoral wards in its 2027 admissions policy. Your home address must be in one of those wards. Birmingham City Council's ward lookup shows your ward. Bishop Vesey's uses distance zones instead: Zone 1 is within 12 miles and Zone 2 is 12 to 20 miles. Sutton Coldfield Girls has no catchment and ranks by score.
Does pupil premium help you get into a Birmingham grammar school?
Yes, once your child reaches 205; no extra marks are added. At the King Edward VI schools, pupil premium children in the catchment are category 2, and those outside it are category 3 until pupil premium places reach a quarter of the total. Bishop Vesey's has up to 38 pupil premium places within Zone 1, and Sutton Coldfield Girls up to 36. From September 2026, free school meals given only because of Universal Credit do not attract pupil premium.
When are Birmingham 11+ results and offers for 2027 entry?
Scores are sent by 16 October 2026. Apply through your home council by 31 October 2026. Offers come on 1 March 2027. A score is not an offer.
Does putting a grammar school first risk my other choices?
No. Councils use an equal preference system: if your child meets the criteria for more than one school, you are offered the highest one on your list, and an unsuccessful grammar preference does not change how your other choices are treated. 6 of the eight schools are King Edward VI schools with the same five categories.
