In the school’s words
Assessments for September 2027 entry will be held on Tuesday 17 November 2026 . The Entrance Examination includes a Thinking Skills paper, a Critical Essay paper, and interviews comprising both general and subject-specific questions. Before your daughter starts at JAGS we will provide a range of information packs as well as details of a welcome event in the Summer for your daughter to attend. We also offer an induction day in September before the official first day of term. We hope that these will help your daughter become familiar with her fellow pupils, teachers and the school site.
