16+ Entrance Assessment

We set our own entrance papers which are based on Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum and accessible to boys in both preparatory and primary schools. The papers are designed to identify academic potential and innate ability rather than test what has been taught and are accessible to all. Past papers are not released, however the commercially available 11+ papers can provide useful practice.

No, boys may only sit for entry at 11+ or 13+. Offers made for 11+ and 13+ entry are not transferable from one entry point to another (the offer of a place in the First Year at 11+ cannot be transferred to entry in the Third Year and the offer of a place at 13+ cannot be transferred to entry in the First Year).

The top teams are all very good indeed and play the best opposition. However, there is sport for all: for example Hampton fielded 26 football teams last year including D, E and F football teams.

The Modern Languages are French, German, Spanish, Russian and Mandarin. Any one of the first three can be chosen as the first language studied, with the opportunity to start a second (and third) language in the Third Year. Classical Greek is also available from the Third Year. All First and Second Year boys study Latin, which supports English and Modern Languages by teaching precision and grammar.

Some walk and many cycle. Many use the 111, R70 or 285 buses, all of which stop outside the School or very close to it. Some boys travel by train to Hampton station on the Waterloo-Shepperton line. There are coaches jointly with LEH and about 1,000 pupils from the two schools use these. The catchment area is quite large; further details of the coach routes is given on the Coach Services page.
