Upper Third – Upper Fifth (Years 7-11)

There are two main points of entry at 11+ and at 13+ although there are sometimes vacancies in other year groups. Once you have registered your daughter, she will be invited to attend the school on a Friday morning in order to take our Entrance Examination. This takes place in the January preceding the September of entry and consists of tests in English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning. Borderline candidates may be invited back for an interview later in January after which places, scholarships and bursaries will be offered.

We are pleased to make individual arrangements to test girls who wish to join the school part way through the school year.
