Entry is selective and all girls are invited to sit tests in English, maths and reasoning before which a reference will be requested from their current school. Tests take place in mid January 2020. We aim to keep the atmospgeree as relaxed and friendly as possible so that girls can show us their best. Girls who do well in the test will be invited back for a short informal interview and have the chance to see around the school.
