13+ 2022 Entry via Year 7 Pre-assessment
There are generally 12-15 places available in Year 9. Admission at 13+ (Year 9) for Year 7 Prep School candidates is via our 13+ pre-assessment.
Please note that from 2022 entry, any offers made via the 13+ pre-assessment will no longer be conditional on ISEB 13+ Common Entrance results, but conditional on receipt of a satisfactory reference from the candidates’ Prep School requested in the Autumn Term of Year 8. If you are applying for entry in Year 9 for September 2021 and you are at a Prep School, you can only apply via the 13+ Occasional Place Entry.
Covid 19 restrictions / ISEB Pre-Test
Due to continuing Covid-19 restrictions, we have decided to change our assessment procedure for all 13+ (Year 9) applicants for September 2022 entry. All registered applicants will now sit the ISEB Common Pre-Test at their current Prep School instead of coming to Harrodian to sit our own assessments.
The ISEB Pre-Test is a respected and widely used online test for children moving from primary or prep schools to secondary schools. It consists of four sections: Maths, English, Verbal and Non-verbal Reasoning. No special preparation is required for the test, which is adaptive and designed to identify potential as well as attainment.
Registered applicants will be able to sit the Pre-Test at their current Prep school and we have requested that schools administer the test to pupils no later than Monday 9 November 2020. Interviews at Harrodian will now be held a week later on Friday 20 November 2020. The full revised timeline can be found below:
