Things parents are caught out by
- The school names Future Stories Community Enterprise Ltd (FSCE) as its test provider.
- There is no creative writing paper and no non-verbal reasoning, so the written answers are the part to practise.
- Reaching the required standard does not guarantee a place.
- The school runs its own test. North Yorkshire Council organises testing only for Ripon Grammar School.
Registering is not applying
Registering for the test is not an application for a place. The application goes to your home local authority on its Common Application Form, and the national closing date for secondary transfer is 31 October.
