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.

Entry into Year 12
If you are considering a move into Year 12, we arrange a bespoke taster day while you are still in Year 11, allowing you to choose up to five different A Level classes, working alongside current Year 12 students.
We would make on offer based on your predicted GCSE grades, and a reference from your current school.
