Admission - Senior School

Admission to Year 7 (11+)

All candidates must sit the School’s 11+ entrance examination, some of whom will then be invited to an interview with the Headmaster or Deputy Head. The interview is an integral part of the assessment as it provides a friendly atmosphere in which the candidate has the opportunity to share details of his or her interests and abilities. It also enables the interviewer to look further into the candidate’s performance in the entrance examination and to ascertain what contribution he or she might make to the general life of the School. A reference is also sought from the candidate’s current school. The Headmaster will finalise the list of candidates who will be eligible for further consideration for admission.
