What is The Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium?

Five grammar schools in the Greater Manchester area form the Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium. All schools in the consortium use the same test, which means that children applying to any of these schools only need to take the 11 plus test once. Loreto Grammar School and Saint Ambrose College are not part of the Trafford Grammar Schools Consortium, and have their own entrance tests.
