Tuesday 19 January 2010

All applicants for the exam must fill out an application form, which can be obtained from the relevant School Secretary (click here for a list of contacts) and is enclosed in each prospectus pack.  You can also download an application form from our website by clicking here. 

Senior School Entry 

There will be four components to the examination:

• an English Composition, set by the School (examples of past questions are available below and will be available at Open Day)

A set of three tests from NFER Nelson comprising:

·         a verbal reasoning test

·         a non-verbal reasoning test

·         a mathematical test

Each of these tests is designed to test “innate” ability.  Practice papers are available from any good bookshop (look for NFER Nelson 11+ practice papers). 

As an indication of the required standard, we would normally expect your child’s teacher to be predicting Level 5 in the Key Stage 2 SATs test. 

Junior School Entry

The Entrance Exam will have three components: English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning.  Full sets of past papers for the junior schools can be requested from the appropriate secretary (click here for a list of contacts).
