What are the real chances of getting into a North Yorkshire Grammar School?

Entry into North Yorkshire Grammar schools is defined by catchment. If you live within the catchment of the schools then your chances of entry are quite high by national standards. Do please check current catchment rules because as competition increases so schools tend in some cases to reduce their catchment areas.

There will be plenty of children who are capable of getting into the highest zone of marks who don’t manage it on the day for a variety of reasons. One of the core reasons some children will get through and others won’t is simply how they deal with the pressure on the day.
