Pre-Prep
There are no formal assessments; however we will request a school report and educational information from your child’s previous school prior to entry.
We would encourage new pupils to visit prior to starting.
Prep School
For Year 3, entrance is based on a satisfactory taster day at the Prep School. This can be arranged on an individual basis or as part of our main assessment day in January each year. Gresham’s Pre-Prep pupils are invited to several Prep School taster events during Year 2. For entry into Years 4 to 8, the entrance assessments are in Maths and English. Sample papers are not provided, but our tests are similar to widely available age-appropriate standardised assessments. The assessment day for pupils looking to join Years 3 to 5 will be in January 2023. For pupils applying to join Years 6 to 8 at the Prep School, the entrance assessments will take place in November 2022 and the scholarship assessments for Year 7 entry will be at a separate time in January. Applications for places after this date are considered on an individual basis according to availability.
