YEAR 7 (AGE 11+) ENTRY
We have a two-stage entrance assessment (exam and interview) which takes place in January
prior to entering the school in September. Applicants need to be consistently high achieving
in most curriculum areas, working at the very top of their current class. Additionally they will
be independent, self motivated and resilient learners who have a thirst for knowledge and an
intellectual curiosity, with the potential to further develop and excel. They must enjoy a fast
paced learning environment and relish the challenge of solving difficult problems.
The specific dates for 11+ admissions can be found on our website, but here is a rough guide to the process.
We will keep you regularly updated, so there is no need to worry about forgetting or missing key dates.

We welcome 75 girls into Year 7 each year to join our current Year 6 girls in the Senior
School at City. Girls will be in Year 6 when they sit their entrance exam. It is strongly
advised that prospective parents attend one of our 11+ Open Events in order to
meet staff and girls and ensure that City is an appropriate choice of school before
registering. Girls can register from the September when they start Year 5.
