You need to give us some idea of where you would live and we can give you some idea of what might be possible for you.
Motivation is the key. I have worked with students who have started in July and done really well because they are very focused. Others start early and go off the boil. DG
I am close to Alperton area, my confusion is because he will go in year 6 in September,
1) Has he lost the chances of entrance exam, is it too late to fill school forms for the exam?
2) Do I need to fill each grammar school form separately?
3) his date of birth is March 2008, he has studied in London till year 3, the last two years outside the UK.
Will he be eligible for grammar school
1) almost certainly not - you need to look at the website of each school for its admissions policy and to check the closing date for registration.
2) Yes (Unless the school is part of a consortium, in which case, sitting one exam gives access to all)
3) If he is eligible to be educated at public expense, so to speak, then he is eligible to sit the entrance exams for state grammar schools and to attend one if he does well enough, applies for a place and is successful in being allocated one (if that's what you mean?).
Possibly the only grammar school you can 'reasonably' consider from Alperton would be Queen Elizabeth in Barnet - only two bus rides and less than an hour and a half away and open to any boy from anywhere as they admit on score in the exam only.
