The 11+ is the main entry stage for the school. There is an 11+ Entrance Exam held in January for entrance in the following September (Click here for more information). The candidates must be registered and are tested in Maths, English and Verbal Reasoning. All candidates are interviewed by the Headmaster.

Specific Learning Differences

At this stage in the selection process, every step will be taken to accommodate the needs of those with a specific learning difference (SLD). Extra time or the use of a word processor may be allowed in part of the exam (subject to the written recommendation of an educational psychologist and the approval of St James' Learning Support Co-ordinator).
