Entry into Year 3 in September 2026 is for girls born between 1 September 2018 and 31 August 2019. You can apply or register your interest in a place below. All applicants will be invited to join us for the assessment.
First assessment
The girls will attend in small groups on a single day in the autumn and be at South Hampstead for 4 to 5 hours. The day includes tests in maths, writing and comprehension. We do not provide past papers. Current schools will be approached for a reference in advance of this date.
Second assessment
Those who perform well will be invited back for a further assessment in mid-January. This assessment is more akin to a lesson and includes maths, English and group discussion, in small groups of 6 to 8.
Offers
Offers will be made at the end of January 2026 with an acceptance deadline in early February.
