Reviewed 29 September 2026 for September 2027 entry.
Skipton Girls’ High School runs its own selection process. Families must register for its test separately from applying to their home local authority for a school place.
What is in the test?
The school’s 2027 admissions booklet describes an FSCE test of English and maths, using multiple-choice and written-response questions. It assesses Key Stage 2 knowledge and skills. The booklet does not list the additional creative writing task used by the Halifax schools. Read the official 2027 admissions booklet.
