From the school
In the school’s words
Candidates are assessed at a Welcome Morning during the autumn term and sit the ISEB Common Pre-test examination between early November and 9 December. We have 10 dates for Welcome Mornings across the autumn term; if your daughter is unable to make the date allocated we can suggest another date. Those sitting the ISEB tests at their current school can do so until 9 December. This date is determined by each candidate's school and the tests are age-standardised.
Programme
- A one-on-one interview with a senior member of staff
- A creative writing task
- An interactive group task
Booking
You can register your daughter directly with ISEB here ; Registration with ISEB is free and, if you are registering your daughter for a place at JAGS, you do not need to ask our permission before selecting us as the invigilation centre; Our own deadline for completion of the tests is Wednesday 9 December.

Can I still register my child if I cannot afford the registration fee?
Yes. The registration fee is not payable if you are currently in receipt of Universal Credit or your daughter is in receipt of Pupil Premium (free school lunches). You should complete the Pupil Premium Registration form, which waives the registration fee.
