Harrodian is a co-educational independent school that offers a balanced and stimulating education to children of all ages on a single site. Girls and boys attend the Pre-Prep aged 4 to 7, the Prep School aged 8 to 12 , the Senior School aged 13 to 15 and the Sixth Form aged 16 to 18.
The principal points of admission are at 4+ (Reception), 8+ (Year 4), 11+ (Year 7), 13+ (Year 9) and 16+ (Sixth Form), with pupils occasionally being admitted in other year groups.
There are 40 places available at this entry point and registrations are accepted from birth. Priority is given to siblings where possible but is not guaranteed. Siblings should be registered at least two academic years ahead of entry.
There are generally 15 – 20 places available in Year 4. Admission at 8+ is via our 8+ assessments in literacy and numeracy. Candidates are also assessed for their sociability and communication skills within an informal classroom setting.
There are generally 30-35 places available in Year 7. Admission at 11+ (Year 7) is via our 11+ written assessments.
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.
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 2022 and you are at a Prep School, you can only apply via the 13+ Occasional Place Entry.
We have decided to change our assessment procedure for all 13+ (Year 9) applicants for September 2023 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 early November and interviews will be held in late November 2021 (exact dates to be confirmed)>
While most of our Year 9 places are taken up by Prep School candidates, we always have some occasional places available for overseas candidates and those not in the Prep School system.
Details to follow soon
