In-Year Admissions

Watford Grammar School for Girls is not part of Hertfordshire County Council’s scheme of ‘In-Year’ coordination. Applications are to be made directly to us by completing our In-Year application form below.

The admission number for Watford Grammar School for Girls is 210 per year group for years 7 – 11, and we rarely have vacancies outside the normal secondary transfer admissions round.

If the relevant year group is fully subscribed, an applicant’s details will be added to the school’s continuing interest list for that year group and ranked in order against the admissions criteria, not according to the date the application was added to the list. Continued interest lists are maintained until the end of the academic year, at which point they are deleted.

Where a place becomes available, the criteria applied to determine which student to admit are outlined in our admissions policy.

Please complete the application form below to register for the continued interest list.
