Highgate School

The admission process at Highgate School is academically selective and competitive across all its primary entry points. For those applying at 4+ (Reception), the selection involves two stages of play-based activities and individual tasks to gauge learning readiness. At later stages, such as 7+ and 11+, candidates are required to sit formal written examinations in subjects like English, Mathematics, and Reasoning. Following these assessments, the school invites shortlisted applicants for an interview to further assess their suitability. Offers are made based on academic merit, performance in the assessments, and confidential references from the applicant's current school.
