Choosing a senior school in Hackney
11+, 13+ and 16+ entry
Most London senior schools admit at 11+, some at 13+ as well or instead, and nearly all take a smaller group at 16+. 11+ entry is usually a written exam or online test in the autumn or January of Year 6, followed by interview; 13+ places are often offered after a Year 6 pre-test.
What to compare
Compare GCSE and A-level results over several years, university destinations (including Oxbridge and medicine offers), the size of the sixth form, bursary and scholarship support, and the journey time. Results alone tell you about intake as much as teaching.
Senior schools in Hackney: common questions
- How many senior schools are there in Hackney?

- When should I register for a senior school?
- Registration for 11+ entry usually closes in the autumn of Year 5 or Year 6, and for 13+ often in Year 5 ahead of Year 6 pre-tests. Deadlines vary by school, so check each school's admissions page.
- What is the difference between 11+ and 13+ entry?
