More about entry from our guide

For 11+ and 13+ entry the school runs one process in Year 6: the ISEB Pre-Test, a reference from the current school, an assessment day with group activities, and an interview. A child applying for 13+ entry in September 2029 therefore follows the same timetable as an 11+ applicant for September 2027.
