School Entrance Examination

Candidates wishing to enter the school in Years 7-10 (ages 11–14), not taking Common Entrance, will be asked to sit the School's own entrance examination on 22 January 2010.

This consists of:

a test in mathematics based upon the relevant level of the National Curriculum
a verbal reasoning test
an English comprehension test.

To help you and your child prepare for these examainations, we produce age-specific Parents Guides which are available to download here:

The Director of Studies, Dr Jonathan Allday, will be pleased to discuss any enquiries regarding the tests or give feedback on practice test results on tel: 01473 326203

Common Entrance

For Year 9 (13+) candidates following a Common Entrance course, the offer of a place at the school is conditional upon satisfactory performance in the summer Common Entrance examinations.

Entrance for all candidates is also subject to a successful interview with the Headmaster and satisfactory reports regarding academic attainment and behaviour being received from the candidate's current school.
