Slough Schools
Admissions for Slough, Langley, Herschel & St. Bernard’s Catholic Grammar Schools are managed as a consortium.
Parents must complete a registration form and return it to their first choice school, which is where their child will then take the test. The Common Application Form (CAF) must also be completed.
Herschel, Slough and Langley Grammar Schools are enormously over-subscribed, with approximately 10 applicants for every place. St. Bernard’s Grammar School receives approximately 3 applications for every place.
