13+ entrance procedure September 2025 (for candidates who will be in Year 8 in September 2024)

For boys and girls who will be 13 years old on 1 September of the year of proposed entry sit an entrance examination in the November preceding the year of entry. Candidates will sit a 90 minute computerised cognitive abilities test and a 30 minute English paper and a 30 minute Maths paper.

Practice papers are not available and we strongly advise against any kind of practice ahead of a CAT4 as this will alter the reliability of test scores.
