11 Plus Tuition for Haberdashers' Adams

Haberdashers’ Adams was founded in 1656 by William Adams, a member of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers, and is also known as Adams’ Grammar School. It is a selective boys’ grammar school in Newport, Shropshire, with a co-educational sixth form, offering both day and boarding places.

Haberdashers’ Adams has a Published Admission Number of around 120 day places for Year 7 each year, with boarding places available in addition. The school is competitive, so thorough preparation for the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test is important.

Haberdashers’ Adams uses the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test, provided by GL Assessment. It consists of two papers of around 60 minutes, divided into timed sections covering English Comprehension, Verbal Reasoning, Maths and Non-Verbal & Spatial Reasoning, all multiple-choice, sat on Saturday 12th September 2026.

Haberdashers’ Adams does not operate a catchment area in the usual sense, but for day-school applications priority is given, under one category, to boys who attend primary schools in Newport (TF10 postcodes). Boarding places are open to applicants regardless of catchment.

The entrance test is held on Saturday 12th September 2026. Registration is completed online through the West Midlands Grammar Schools website; for 2027 entry it opened on 5th May 2026 and closes at 4 pm on Friday 26th June 2026, with no late registrations permitted.
