All ages calculated as at 1 September.

INFANT SCHOOL

It is expected that pupils will usually transfer from Infants to Juniors. This is dependent on achieving a certain standard of work in English and Maths. Issues of attitude, effort and behaviour are also considered, where appropriate, during consultation between staff in both sections of the school prior to transfer.

JUNIOR SCHOOL 

All of our Infant 2 pupils will sit the 7+ entrance examination, regardless of their offer status, so that they can provide the Junior School with useful benchmark information.

SENIOR SCHOOL

All of our J4 pupils will sit the 11+ entrance examination, regardless of their offer status, so that they can compete for academic scholarships and provide the Senior School with useful benchmark information.

For those pupils hoping to join us in the Third Form (Year 7), they must perform sufficiently well in the 11+ examination and have supportive references from their current school.

For more detailed information regarding entrance at 11+ please refer to Pathways to Senior School at 11+

SIXTH FORM

In the case of students entering the Sixth Form from other schools, admission is based on interview and GCSE results. The Sixth Form Booklet (including further detail on the application process, relevant dates and subject choices) is available below.
