Entry to the Main School usually takes place at Year 7 following success in the 11+ Entrance Examination. Pupils from feeder Primary Schools may have visited the Year 5 Activities Day which is held at the end of the Spring Term. Advertising and information for Year 6 pupils occurs in the Autumn Term preceding the year of entry. The 11+ Entrance Examination is held in late January or early February.
Candidates for the Entrance Examination, take tests in Reasoning, Mathematics and English. The Primary School is also asked for a report on the pupil. Dates for publication of the results and acceptances of offers are agreed with the Liverpool Consortium of Independent Schools. School Assisted Places are available to pupils who do well in the Entrance Examination but whose parents cannot afford fees (see Assisted Places Scheme).
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. If a place is available, the pupil will be invited to spend a day in school during which she will be tested in Reasoning, Mathematics, English, a Foreign Modern Language and Science.
Application to the Sixth Form can be made during the Spring Term of Year 11. The school holds an A-Level Options Evening in February for all pupils. During a visit to school in March, the pupil will meet Heads of the subjects in which she is interested. The successful candidate is required to achieve at least seven grade 'B's at GCSE. 'A' grades are essential in the subject to be studied.
The school offers a modern curriculum at all stages. Elements of the National Curriculum at Key Stage 3 are enhanced by the study of Classical Civilisation and / or Latin. Opportunities for sport and the performing arts enrich both the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. Pupils usually select nine subjects at GCSE. A range of 13 optional subjects are on offer to supplement the core of English, English Literature, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (or Double Award Science). 24 subjects are available for study at A-level.
