Admission Details
7+, 8+ AND 9+ ENTRY
Each September, the junior school admits about 54 boys into year 3 at 7+, 14 boys into year 4 at 8+ and 12 boys into year 5 at 9+. A boy’s year group is strictly determined by his age on 1 September in the year of admission. Thus a boy born on 31 August will be the youngest in his year group and a boy born on 1 September will be the oldest in the following year group.
In order for boys to sit our assessments parents must register their sons via the online registration form. Visit the 'How to register' page for further information.
Boys are admitted from both independent and maintained schools. It is important that parents discuss their plans in relation to our entry assessments with their current school as, at the end of September preceding the written assessments, activity sessions and interview, we will write to the candidates' current Heads to inform them which of their pupils will be sitting our assessments and invite them to submit a short report.
If we are unable to offer a boy a place or he is withdrawn before the assessments and parents wish him to sit for the following year’s entry point a new registration must be submitted.
Year 5 (9+) is the last point of entry into the Junior School. If we are unable to offer a boy a place or he is withdrawn before the assessments and parents wish him to sit for a later point of entry they should refer to the 11+, 13+ or 16+ admissions information.
