Admission to the school is determined through a series of academic evaluations. For entry at 4+ (Reception), children are observed in a play-based setting to determine their readiness for school. For Year 3 (7+), the process involves assessments in English, Mathematics, and reasoning. At Year 7 (11+), the school uses the London 11+ Consortium’s online assessment, which covers Mathematics, English, cognitive reasoning, and creative problem-solving. Most entry points also include an interview and a review of reports from the applicant's current school.
