Pupils are normally admitted to the Junior School at 7 and 9. All candidates sit the appropriate entrance examination in the January preceding entry in September. It may sometimes be possible to admit pupils into other years: enquiries should be made to the Assistant Registrar.

In all our exams, we look carefully for potential, not simply current attainment. We take a keen interest in the school reference, the wider interests of the applicant, and any other relevant information. Tests and interviews are designed to explore the way in which each child thinks, helping us to assess his promise and potential. No special preparation is expected or required.
