Year 6 - Spring Term

The papers are common to both the Boys' and the Girls' Schools. The Primary School is also asked to provide a report on the pupil. The dates for publications of the results, and acceptance of offers is agreed with the Liverpool Consortium of Independent Schools.

Most boys enter the Main School in Year 7, having taken the 11+ Entrance Exam.
Entry to the school for Years 8 - 11 is made by contacting the school directly. Offers of a place are subject to availability and examination success.

Applications are also welcome for the Sixth Form.
There are typical entry expectations in terms of GCSE results, and this would be discussed during an informal interview.
