Entry to Y7 (11+)

Hulmegrammarschool 361

Candidates who are over 10 years and 6 months and under 12 years on 31st August in the year of entry are eligible for entry to Senior School. All external pupils must take the entrance examination in January of the year of entry. The examination consists of two papers: “English” and “Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics”. Familiarisation Materials (practice papers) for all three papers can be downloaded here

Candidates who perform sufficiently well in the examination will be invited to attend an interview in February of the year of entry. In selecting candidates for admission, the school takes account of their current school report and any special circumstances, for example recent changes in health or school.

Vacancies sometimes occur partway through the academic year in Year 7 to 9. Candidates for these vacancies are tested in English, Mathematics and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
