Our typical cohort size is around 104, in four forms, with some variation year-on-year. Every five years, we have capacity in school to accept a larger cohort, taking it through from Year 7 to sixth form. We have recruited five forms for September 2024 entry, so will be reverting to four forms for September 2025.

For September 2025 entry, we will be testing Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning as our first stage. Tests will be taken in person at Wimbledon High School

The well-being of pupils is a key concern for us. We know that schools have fared differently during Covid and that learning has often been disrupted. We also know that our tests can be prepared for at home, without input necessary from a candidate's current school; pupils do not have to had endless practice in them. The results of the tests allow us to make fair, evidence-based decisions as to who will progress through to our second stage.
