How admission works
Entry at 11+ is by three examinations — English, Mathematics and Verbal Reasoning — plus a confidential headteacher's reference and, for shortlisted candidates, an interview. King's is currently a boys' school at this entry point but is moving to full co-education at 11+ from September 2033. Rogers and Cayley academic scholarships are awarded automatically to the strongest performers, with no separate application needed.
