13+ Entry
To secure a 13+ Boarding place two years in advance applicants can apply via our 13+ Pre-Test route and sit the entrance examinations at age 11. They would sit examinations in English, Mathematics and Critical Thinking papers alongside the 11+ cohort. If successful in securing a place two years in advance families can then apply for scholarships the year before their son is due to join i.e. when their son is in Year 8.
If your son is in Year 8 you can apply one year in advance and your son will sit entrance examination papers in English, Mathematics and Science.
