About selective grammar schools

Within North Yorkshire there are three selective grammar schools. These schools admit children based on their performance in tests which take place in September and which are designed to identify academic potential. This information is aimed at parents whose children will be tested for consideration for entry into Year 7 at Ripon Grammar School or Ermysted's Grammar School in Skipton for September 2015.
