Key Information

Supplementary Form
You only need to complete a Supplementary Form if you:
● Have a sibling currently attending WGSG or WGSB
● Your daughter has been registered for free school meals in the last 6 years and you live within a 3 mile radius of the school. If this applies to you, you will need to get a letter from your daughter’s school confirming this.
The supplementary form can be found below.

Appeals
If your child is due to start secondary school in September 2025, you can appeal if you are refused a place at one of your preferred schools on National Offer Day (Monday 3rd March 2025). You must submit your appeal before 4pm on Monday 31st March 2025 (to be confirmed) for it to be considered in the first tranche of appeals. Any appeals received after this time may not be heard until the second tranche which could be in September 2025.

If you wish to appeal you would need to complete a form online. Please do NOT use ANY other appeal form or send your form to your local authority. Further information on how to appeal and the timetable can be found by downloading the document below ‘Appeals information and Timetable for WGSG Academic Year 2024-2025’.

Please note that you can only submit an appeal form if you named WGSG on your Secondary Common Application Form (SCAF) on/by 31st October 2024.

Please see the documents to support you with the process of making an appeal this year, as well as the key general documentation the school will be providing the appeals panel.

Key Dates

Sixth Form Appeals

If you have not been offered a place following a Sixth Form application, the law entitles you to appeal to an Independent Appeal Panel. This panel is completely independent of the school and the Local Authority. Appeals for Sixth Form admissions are held online.

Following GCSE results, if you are wishing to lodge an appeal, please consult the appeals timetable below and lodge your appeal using this Sixth Form Appeal Form:

Please note that you can only appeal if you have been refused a place in writing after making a formal application. The links below are NOT application forms.

If you wish to appeal, please use this link to complete your appeal online. Please do NOT use ANY other appeal form or send your form to your local authority.

You should include any evidence or supporting material with your appeal form and you MUST give the grounds for your appeal at the time you lodge your appeal form. Your appeal form will not be accepted unless you state the grounds for your appeal. You may appeal for more than one school.

Please note that the online form will ask you to download two utility bills dated in the last THREE months. If you do not have access to a scanner, please take two photographs with a mobile phone and upload the photographic files.

In Year Admissions
Applications from students wishing to transfer to Wilmington Grammar School for Girls should be made via the school by completing an In Year Casual Application Form (IYCAF). If places are available applicants will be required to sit admission tests at the school to assess their suitability.

The school admits eligible students who are successful in our admission tests where places are available in Years 7 & 8. Admission part way through the preparation for GCSE examinations (i.e Years 9, 10 & 11) is not advisable, therefore the school would only admit a student after the start of Year 9 in exceptional circumstances where a place is available.
