The Trafford Consortium has announced that GL Assessment will provide their entrance exam from September 2023. See Urmston Grammar’s website for more information.

This means that if your child is sitting the exam for Altrincham Grammar School for Girls, Altrincham Grammar School for Boys or Stretford, Sale or Urmston Grammar, s/he will sit two papers in maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.  Each paper will take approximately one hour (source: Sale Grammar).

The main difference between the old (CEM) and new (GL) format is that the verbal reasoning question types are quite different. You can take a look at a GL-style verbal reasoning paper here on our website. The answer grid is here.
