Altrincham Grammar School for Girls in Greater Manchester is widely regarded as one of the finest schools in the North of England. It is a vibrant, forward-thinking community that empowers young women to achieve academic and personal excellence. Entry is managed through a localised consortium framework, which parents must understand early in Year 5.
The Trafford Exam Format & Key Deadlines
AGGS is part of the Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium, meaning a single test score can be shared across multiple schools in the region.
-
Consortium Registration Deadline: Late June 2026.

The Entrance Test (Mid-September 2026): The exam consists of two papers administered by GL Assessment. These tests are multiple-choice and cover Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning. There is no separate creative writing component, meaning the focus must be entirely on logic, processing speed, and verbal agility.
