Entry into Year 3 in September 2026 is for girls born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019. All applicants will be invited to join us for the assessment.
First assessment
The girls will attend in small groups on Friday 10 October 2025 for around 4 to 5 hours, with tests in maths, writing and comprehension. We do not provide past papers. Current schools will be approached for a reference in advance of this date.
Second assessment
Those who perform well will be invited back for a further assessment in mid-January. This assessment is more akin to a lesson and includes maths, English and group discussion, in small groups of 6 to 8.
