For 13+, children should be registered during their year 6 and are pre-tested in their year 7. School currently have some late availability places on our day list and one boarding place left for 2024.

Entrance to the school at 13+ is by means of a pre‐test (currently the ISEB Common Pre‐test) in the autumn of Year 7 for candidates at UK schools.
After the pre‐test, the girl may be made a firm offer conditional on achieving at least 60% overall in the Common Entrance exams sat in the June of Year 8 or she may be rejected.
School expect all girls to achieve at least 60% overall at Common Entrance and the majority of successful candidates achieve over 70%. However, a girl’s previous educational background and level of preparation for the examination will be taken into account as will her head teacher’s confidential report. .
In some exceptional cases, (for instance, the girl has recently been accepted for a school using Common Entrance and known to be of the same academic standing as St Swithun’s) the examination requirement may be waived. This is at the discretion of the headmistress.
