How admission works
Entry at 11+ combines written English and Maths papers with a group interview and taster lessons on assessment day; academic scholarship candidates sit a separate interview the following week. Around a quarter of each year group receives fee assistance through Colfe's merit-based and means-tested award schemes, alongside its Junior School, which supplies roughly a third of each Year 7 cohort internally.
