Key dates & preparation

2028 entry

Test: Autumn to spring of Year 6: the ISEB Common Pre-Test is sat at the candidate’s own school (most schools work to the autumn term), with the school’s own papers and interview day usually in January of Year 6

Results: Outcomes follow the school’s published timetable, typically in the spring term of Year 6

Offers: February of Year 6 — the school publishes its offers to its own timetable (London day schools cluster around a mid-February offer point)

When to start preparing: Start preparing in the autumn term of Year 5 (the standing rule: about 18 months before the test).

General guidance: this follows the rule of thumb of starting about 18 months before the test. It is not the school's own published advice.

Admissions rules

No catchment — open competition

There is no catchment area. Admission is by the school’s own assessment process (examinations and, usually, an interview); the school sets its own oversubscription criteria in its admissions policy — commonly the assessment result first, with sibling or other connections considered at some schools.
