Hurstpierpoint College

Hurstpierpoint College maintains a selective admissions process for all its main entry points. For Reception entry, children participate in informal group activities and games to determine suitability. Year 3 applicants attend a taster session and complete assessments in English, Mathematics, and reasoning. At Year 7, candidates sit examinations in English as well as verbal and non-verbal reasoning, alongside participating in group tasks and an interview. Year 9 admission is based on the ISEB Common Pre-test, a current school reference, and an assessment day involving various collaborative activities and interviews. A satisfactory report from the pupil's previous school is required for all applications.
