Admissions tests:

Years 9 and 10: Online aptitude test and an English assessment (if English is not your first language).
Year 11: Online aptitude test and papers in maths and combined science.
Year 12 (overseas-based students): online aptitude test; papers in certain A-level subjects (maths, physics, biology, and chemistry). If you’re choosing a humanities subject, you’ll need to take a short essay-based assessment.
Year 12 (UK-based students): online aptitude test; GCSE predicted grades; and an English assessment (if English is not your first language). Non-native English speakers will need to achieve an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5.

OFFERING YOU A PLACE

Once your assessments and interview have taken place, we’ll formally offer you place. Offers to non-native English-speaking students are conditional on your International English Language Testing System (IELTS) results. There may also be other conditions attached.

To confirm your place, you’ll need to sign and return the acceptance form and pay our deposit by the date specified in the offer letter.
