Admission Details

Years 6-10:

The aim of Entrance Examination is to assess, as far as possible, a potential pupil’s academic potential. They select boys on the basis of merit, ability and aptitude and this is reflected in Entrance Procedures. These comprise;

  • A report from your son’s present/most recent school.
  • A series of examination papers.

Examination performance carries most weight overall, but the School report is an important influence upon the final decision. In some instances, they may request a meeting with you and your son after the exam. This provides with the opportunity to discuss his performance in the Entrance Exam and assess his academic potential and personal qualities.
