The main entry points into St Margaret’s Senior School are Year 7 (11+) and Year 9 (13+). We do sometimes have occasional places available in other year groups and would recommend that you contact the Admissions Team if you are looking for entry into an alternative year.

Entrance assessment days normally take place during the autumn term of the year prior to entry and typically the deadline for registration will be at least two weeks before these assessment days take place. Entry to the Senior School is based not just on performance in a verbal, non-verbal and maths test, but also an interview with a member of the Senior Management Team, school reports and a confidential reference report sought from the candidate’s current Head.

We are a school that understands that ability comes in all shapes and sizes, and that progress is made at a child’s own pace. We believe that each pupil has unlimited potential when given the right opportunities and encouragement.
