The first round will consist of written papers in English, Mathematics, Science (Chemistry, Physics and Biology) and General Humanities (this is a source-based not a syllabus-based paper). Candidates who are successful in round one are called back for interview.
13+ deferred entry
We offer the option of deferred entry for pupils from 13+ Prep Schools in the UK. This means that pupils take the 11+ entrance exam in Year 6, and join the school in Year 9.
It is important to be aware that Habs Boys’ School remains predominantly an 11+ school.
16+
Entry is for pupils aged 16 or below 17 on 1 September in the year of entry.
In order to obtain a 16+ place at Habs, applicants will sit a one hour written Maths paper and a one hour written general paper (students not wishing to take any STEM subjects at A Level will not sit the Maths paper). If successful, they will then be called for subject specific interviews. Any offer made will be conditional.
To join our Sixth Form we ask for nine GCSEs including Mathematics and English, with a minimum Grade 7 in the subjects that you wish to study, or in a related subject where the proposed course is in a new subject.
