St Augustine's Priory: entry, tests, dates and fees

The Priory changes shape as children grow. Boys and girls learn together in the Pre-Prep and the Prep. From Year 7 the school is for girls, right through to its Sixth Form, which it calls Priory Sixth. So the routes in depend on your child's age. Year 7 is the main senior entry, and it is the only one with a full timetable published for this round.

The shared test. The Priory belongs to the London 11+ Consortium, a group of girls' schools that use one entrance test between them. Your daughter sits it once, however many member schools she applies to. It is taken on a computer and adapts to how she answers, with a break halfway. It covers six areas: maths, English, verbal reasoning (working with words), non-verbal reasoning (patterns in shapes), puzzles and problem solving, and creative comprehension.

Where and when she sits it.
