How admission works
Entry is a two-round academic-only process: Round 1 uses GL Assessment materials (Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English), and only the top 300 candidates progress to Round 2, a school-set 60-minute English paper and 50-minute Maths paper. The school says it gives 'no further detail about the content of the exam or the marking schemes' and releases no past papers or preparation resources for Round 2. It holds a single annual Open Day rather than individual visits.
