Quick answer
The Slough score has a clear first threshold: 111 on the standardised scale for 2027 entry. But 111 is an eligibility line for consideration across the Slough Consortium, not a promise that one of the four schools will be offered.
- The four Slough Consortium grammar schools use a shared 11+ entrance examination.
- The 2027 entry test uses GL Assessment, according to the school admissions pages.
- The score is for Slough Consortium consideration and is not shared with other schools.
What 111 means in Slough
Slough’s official school pages describe 111 as the eligibility score. That means a child scoring 111 or above can be considered for a Slough grammar school place if the parents apply.
The phrase “eligible for consideration” is important. It is not soft wording. It is the boundary between the test result and the admissions process. The school still has a published admission number and oversubscription rules.
The four-school question
Herschel Grammar School
- Shared score issue
- Uses the shared Slough Consortium test.
- School-level check
- Read the determined admissions arrangements before naming it.
Langley Grammar School
- Shared score issue
- Uses the same consortium eligibility score.
- School-level check
- Check how its own policy handles oversubscription.
St Bernard's and Upton Court
- Shared score issue
- Part of the same consortium route.
- School-level check
- Faith, priority and school-specific criteria can change the practical reading.
Example
A child scores 112. That clears the Slough eligibility line for 2027 entry. The family should not treat the result as a general pass for grammar schools outside Slough, and should not assume that all four consortium schools are equally realistic. The next step is to decide which Slough schools are genuine preferences, then read each admissions policy.
A child scores well above 111. That may be encouraging, but the family still needs to check the individual school’s published rules rather than relying only on the number.
What parents should check
-
Whether the score is 111 or above
That is the stated eligibility line for the 2027 Slough Consortium route.
-
Which Slough schools you would actually name
Do not list all four automatically if journey, school type or policy makes one unsuitable.
-
The individual admissions policy
Eligibility lets the school consider the application; oversubscription rules decide contested places.
-
Other grammar routes separately
Slough pages state that scores are not shared with other schools.
