Optional taster session

The assessment will take place on Tuesday 5th January 2027 when all applicants will spend half a day at South Hampstead. The girls will be divided into small groups and sit tests in maths, writing and comprehension; we do not provide past papers. There will also be a round table discussion for which no preparation is required.
