Form 7 (11+) and Form 9 (13+) Entry 2027

Form 7 2027

Form 7 (11+) is our main entry point to our Prep School.

Children who wish to join the school for Form 7 (11+) 2027 entry are required to complete a registration form and following this, they will be invited to St. Edmund's to take our assessments and spend the day at our school.

• Form 7 2027 Taster Day will take place on Friday 6 November 2026.
• Form 7 2027 Assessment Day will take place on Saturday 14th November 2026.

The entry assessments for Form 7 include papers in English (comprehension and creative writing) and maths, as well as participation in a range of team building and leadership challenges.  All candidates will be interviewed by the Headmaster or a member of the Senior Management team. Prior to the assessments, the pupil's current school is contacted to request a report on their progress and potential.

Form 9 2027

We are able to take pupils in Form 9 (13+) if places are available. Our 13+ (Form 9 2027) Assessment Day will be held on Tuesday 13th January 2027. If you are looking for a Form 9 2027 place, please complete a registration form HERE

As GCSE courses commence in Form 9, we are unable to offer places in Forms 10 and 11 except in exceptional circumstances.  

The entry assessments for Form 7 (11+) and Form 9 (13+) are also used to identify candidates eligible for scholarship awards for academic excellence. Scholarship candidates for Art, Drama, Music, Performing Arts and Sport awards will be assessed in the Lent term of Form 6 and Form 8 and further details can be found in our scholarship section.
