Entrance Assessments for Year 7
For entrance to Year 7, there are written examinations consisting of papers in Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning. For Year 7 entry (September 2024) these examinations will take place on Saturday 7th October 2023. Older girls may apply for entry at any time in the school year if places are available.
