Upper School – Year 7

Entry to the Upper School is by Entrance Examination.

The assessments take place in a morning and will be 3 hours in total.

Maths paper –1hour in length

English paper –1 hour in length Comprehension Essay

There is no verbal or non-verbal reasoning paper. However there is a spelling and reading age test and also a dictation exercise.

Children with learning support needs can be given extra time and we would like to be given as much information as possible before the exam on any problems a child may have so we can take it into account when marking the exam papers.

We also request a confidential report sheet from the child’s junior school and look carefully at this when deciding whether or not to offer a place.

A ‘taster’ day is recommended after the assessment morning to help the child and school with the decision making.
