Dear ‎Fran Abrams‏
 
Request for Information (Reference: 22494533 )
 
Thank you for your request for information, received on 15 July 2021.
 
Request summary:
I'd like the information for entrance tests for admission into year 7 of
each selective school for which you act as admissions authority, in each
of the years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. If your
admissions tests are in the Autumn of the year before admission those
would be the tests in the previous year (ie 2020 test for admission in
2021).
If only partial information is available I would still like to see it.
In each of these years:
1. How many places were available for entry into year 7 of each school,
and (if different) what percentage were allocated via an entrance test?
2. How many children sat entrance tests for each school?
3. How many places were offered to pupils successful in the tests for each
school?
4. How many pupils were admitted into year seven in each school?
 
Due to the ongoing uncertainty of the full impact of COVID-19 there are
likely to be disruptions to our services. At the moment, we are focussing
on high priority work and the remainder will be subject to delays. We
appreciate your patience during these unprecedented times.
 
We aim to respond to your request no later than midnight on 12 August
2021 (the statutory timescale of 20 working days, starting on the working
day following receipt of your request). We may need to contact you if the
request needs to be clarified; this is to ensure we provide you with the
information you require.
 
If the information you have requested is held by another public authority,
we will inform you of this so that you can contact them directly.
 
Gloucestershire County Council is committed to the principles of
information disclosure and will, wherever possible, provide all
information requested. However, some information you have requested may
not be provided to you; this will only be information that can be withheld
by law, and, in most cases, the reason will be explained to you when we
send out any information that can be released. We will also inform you as
soon as possible if we do not hold the information you have requested.
 
You may find answers to your questions on our frequently asked questions

Our response to your request may be published in our disclosure log, with
your personal details removed. Our new disclosure log can be found on our
