Pupils seeking admission into year 7 take tests in verbal reasoning, mathematics and English. All tests are set to be appropriate for the pupils in their final year of the KS2 national curriculum. It is acknowledged that candidates are unlikely to have covered all of the work that is tested - the tests take account of this.

English: 45 minutes
The English paper tests comprehension, vocabulary and punctuation.
English writing: 30 minutes
In this paper candidates will be asked to produce an extended piece of writing.
