The entrance examinations consist of a general reasoning paper and written papers in Mathematics, English Comprehension and Writing. Both English and Mathematics papers are set to the standard of the National Curriculum and boys for entry into Year 7 are expected to perform to a standard broadly equivalent to a good level 4 or above. Boys seeking entry above Year 7 may also be assessed in modern languages and sciences.
