There are precise deadlines when applying for our scholarships or means-tested bursary, and we urge you to take notice of these, and the assessment dates, in advance.
All candidates will sit examination papers in Maths and English (sample papers below). For entry in September 2024, the 11+ and 13+ entrance examinations will take place on Saturday 20 January 2024. International Students for whom English is not their first language will also be required to complete an online Linguaskill assessment. Other year groups and late applications, where places are still available, will be run by the Head of Admissions at mutually convenient times.
