How admission works
Entry at 11+ is by an online mix of adaptive and non-adaptive tests — Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning, Puzzles & Problem Solving, and Creative Comprehension — which the school says is designed to discover a candidate's potential. Around 80 First Form places are offered each year against roughly 300 candidates, and all applicants are automatically considered for an Academic scholarship (5–25% fee remission), alongside means-tested bursaries of typically 40–100% support.
