Academic Performance and Scholarships

Common Entrance Results

Common Entrance exams are taken at the end of Year 8. They cover a broad range of subjects and stretch children far beyond what would normally be expected for Year 8 children in many subjects. Some pupils’ assessments are assessed by Senior Schools, which have the freedom to adapt the mark-scheme, making standardisation and comparisons inexact. Many academically selective Senior Schools require a score of 55% or even 60% to achieve a ‘C’ grade, with an ‘A’ often representing a very good standard indeed.

Our Year 8 pupils who sat their Common Entrance exams in the Summer Term 2023 performed very well. 93% of all grades were A* to C grades. An impressive 47% of the overall grades were graded as either A* or A. Well done to all of the pupils who sat these exams and for their hard work!
