Routes to senior schools

No preferential route at 11+
Pupils sit each senior school's competitive entrance exams; no guaranteed or preferential place. Our close relationships with senior schools, combined with our deep understanding of each child as an individual, guide our discussions with parents and ensure that every pupil applies to the school best suited to them. 2026-10-14[9]
