Entry into Years 3 to 6

Before offering a place in our Junior School, we assess ability in maths, writing and reading, and ask pupils to complete a non-verbal reasoning test. This takes place during an informal taster and assessment day, and no advance preparation is required. Afterwards, we provide you with detailed 1:1 feedback.

There are still some assessment days available for September 2025 entry. Please contact Junior Admissions for information: junioradmissions@redmaidshigh.co.uk

For your daughter to attend an assessment day, please complete the registration form at the bottom of this page.

We hold a Senior School entrance exam in January for entry for the following September. We are typically a four form entry school and run a waiting list. You can find full details of what is involved in the exam below.
