The key points of entry are: 11+ (Year 7), 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (Sixth Form). Occasional places are available in 12+ (Year 8) and 14+ (Year 10).
There is the option to apply at 11+ and defer entry to start at 13+.
We are a selective school. Assessments are held early in the autumn term and offers of a place are made in December.
Entrance assessments take place in November the year before the student is due to join us. This includes those applying for a 13+ deferred place. Independent Schools Examination Board (ISEB) online tests are taken at the applicant’s current school if they are able to facilitate this, or at Woldingham. A school report will be requested from your daughter’s current school.
These are:
11+/13+ deferred - Online ISEB test in English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, a creative writing paper and an interview.
12+ - Online ATOM test in English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, a creative writing paper and an interview.
13+ & 14+ - Online ATOM test in English, maths and science, and an interview.
16+ - A general (critical thinking) Sixth Form entrance assessment and tests in two subjects to be studied at A Level.
For Sixth Form entry, applicants should have eight GCSEs/IGCSEs with an average of grade 5.5. For A Level maths, sciences, drama or languages grade 7 or above is required, and for other subjects grade 6 or above. We occasionally use discretion if a student misses this average but has qualities in particular areas of the curriculum and is prepared to select three A Level options which reflect her strengths.
