We expect year 6 children to change their own reading books as often as possible, bringing their reading records in to school frequently to be checked by the class teacher.

We are very keen to encourage applicants for our bursaries. In September 2020 over 220 pupils in school will be in receipt of bursaries and we aim to increase this figure. By 2024, our 400th Anniversary, we would like to be in a position to offer bursaries to 1 in 4, as we work towards our overarching ambition of becoming needs blind. Further information can be found on our website - Bursaries or do ask them to call us if they have questions. We are always happy to answer individual queries and chat to parents.
We normally have around 1300 children sitting the exam and we would expect to interview around 350. We have 168 places for Year 7 with about 40 children joining from our Prep School, leaving almost 130 places to fill. Sample papers are available on our website: Sample 11+ papers
