Entry Procedure
Ackworth School Nursery
Our Nursery takes pupils from the age of 2½ to 4 years old. Before a place is offered, we will invite your child to Nursery for an informal assessment to ensure they are Nursery-ready.
Coram House (Junior School)
Entry at 4+ is by informal assessment during a taster session. Entry at 7+ is by interview and an assessment. This will normally involve an assessment of potential and achievement in the areas of literacy, numeracy and reasoning.
Senior School
Entry at 11+ and 12+ is by school reference, interview (where possible) and tests.
These will involve Mathematics and English assessments set by the School and a non verbal reasoning test.
Entry at 13+ and 14+ is as at 11+, though the papers will be appropriate to the age of the child.
Sixth Form
Entry at 16+ is by school reference, interview and evidence of satisfactory GCSE grades.
Entrance assessments usually take place in January, although individual assessments take place throughout the year.
International Students
- Each student is considered individually.
- Students sit the Ackworth English assessment and a current school report is requested.
- An interview with the Head, either in person or by Skype
