Admissions Criteria

Admiss ions cover 13+ entry (Year 9) for boys with full boarding and 16+ entry for boys and girls (Sixth Form) with day and boarding options. The process for 13+ includes Year 6 siting of ISEB Common Pre-Tests (Stage 1) and an interview (Stage 2) with a Housemaster or senior leader; an Academic Scholarship process known as Election involves written exams and interviews and typically takes place over three days in April–May.
