Opportunities at Adams are limitless.
Haberdashers’ Adams is a selective state grammar school for boys and girls aged 11-18 with boarding for boys. The vast majority of pupils join us in Year 7 with admission to the school conditional upon achieving the required academic standard in the school’s entrance test and on the availability of places. The school will admit 135 day pupils and up to 15 boarders into Year 7.
We are one of the very few selective grammar schools in the UK to offer state boarding for boys. There are no education fees to worry about so you just pay the costs associated with boarding (a fraction of the fees payable at independent schools). For families where parents work long hours and/or travel for work, there has never been a better time to discover state boarding.
Open Days
Taking a look around Haberdashers’ Adams is the best way to find out more about the school. Open Week takes place every January. Whether joining for seven years or two years, in the Sixth Form, there are lots of different elements you need to consider.
Boarding Open Events
Boys are able to join as boarders in Year 7, benefitting from the support of the boarding house and boarding tutors, the company of one another and the opportunity to enjoy after- school activities. Open Evenings and Taster Weekends are an ideal opportunity to see Longford Hall, the junior boarding house, when the boys are home and to meet some of the staff.
The Test
For entry in Year 7, we administer the Entrance Test as part of a Consortium of grammar schools in Shropshire, Walsall and Wolverhampton but are part of the larger partnership of grammar schools, known as ‘West Midlands Grammar Schools’, which incorporates all Birmingham, Shropshire, Walsall, Warwickshire, and Wolverhampton grammar schools.
