If your child was in a grammar school and you moved areas

[mamatomany]

Could you get them into another local grammar school, assuming there was a place ?
Is it automatic or do they have to resit the whole palava again ?
TIA

they would have to resit

I expect it depends on the admissions policy of the receiving school and which year you were looking to join - they may not run an appropriate age specific test for later entrants, and might be happy to work pragmatically with previous school reference (that's what happened many years ago when I was at school).

Then you'd have to join the waiting list like any other "qualified" candidate for places according to any other criteria.

Depends where you live. The ones here in West Kent make you resit and test in additional subjects but a friend has recently moved to mid kent and had no problem.

At our school you would have to sit the in year test and join the waiting list in the same way as anyone else.

I know someone in Bucks who moved from Dr Challoners girls to Aylesbury High school, in year 9.

We moved DS1 from a Kent Grammar to one in Gloucestershire and he was automatically accepted into year 9 without having to take any sort of test.

It depends on the receiving school. The grammar school in the new area may be willing to accept the result from the old grammar school, particularly if they use the same test. However, they are entitled to ask the child to sit a new test.
