Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy admissions, catchment & how to apply
| Catchment | Catchment gives priority — The school refers to 15 named feeder primary schools in Torbay that have historically dominated intake.

What score does your child need for Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy?
Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy does not publish a fixed pass mark. GL Assessment converts each raw score into an age-standardised score (roughly 69–141, with 100 as the average for the age group), and the school sets its qualifying line each year from how that year's applicants perform — so the bar moves with the cohort and the number of places. As a rough readiness signal, children who go on to qualify are usually scoring consistently high on timed practice papers across every subject, not just their strongest one. ElevenReady's readiness score tracks exactly that for this school.
How to prepare for the Churston Ferrers Grammar School Academy 11+
- Start early and build the basics. Begin in Year 4 or 5 so there's time to master each subject before adding exam pressure. Little and often beats last-minute cramming.
- Practise each subject with real question types. Use the free papers above to get familiar with GL Assessment-style maths, english questions and how they're worded.
- Find and fix the weak spots. Mark each paper, look for the topics that trip your child up, and give those extra focused practice rather than repeating what they already know.
- Sit full papers under timed conditions. Closer to the exam, work to the clock so pace and stamina feel normal on the day.
- Keep it calm and encouraging. Confidence matters as much as content — celebrate progress and keep sessions short and positive.
