Registration for Secondary Transfer for September 2026 opens on 01 April 2025, and you will be able to register via the link that will appear here.

Summary of the Secondary Transfer test process:

Important Dates: Application and testing dates are crucial; be sure to check the calendar for deadlines.
Eligibility: Ensure your child is eligible for the Consortium Schools before registering. If ineligible, you may be testing unnecessarily and the application may be discarded by the school.
Parent Portal: Registration for tests opens on April 1, 2025. Late registrations won’t be accepted. Log in regularly to check updates, results, and test allocations. Be aware that emails may end up in spam, so check the portal often.
Test Registration: Only one registration is allowed per child. Make sure all details and tests are accurate before submitting as changes cannot be made once the registration period ends.
Account Setup: Create an account using your email and secure password to register your child. Confirm registration by activating your account via email.
Special Consideration: If your child requires extra time or support, upload the necessary documents from their school’s SENDCo or Headteacher by June 6, 2025. Missing this deadline will result in placement on a reserve test day.
Queens’ School PE Test: Only for applicants to Queens’ School who have exceptional sporting aptitude and live within a specific catchment area. The test is on September 10, 2025.
Communication: Test Administrators will respond to emails within 48 hours during term time; responses may take longer during holidays.

Ensure you follow all procedures carefully and check the Parent Portal regularly for updates and announcements.
