Hurstpierpoint College

Hurstpierpoint College is an academically selective school that evaluates applicants through standardised examinations and interviews. For entry at Year 7, candidates participate in assessment sessions involving verbal and non-verbal reasoning tests, a writing exercise, and group-based collaborative activities. Those entering at Year 3 are assessed in English, mathematics, and reasoning. At the Reception level, the process is less formal and involves a classroom visit with small group games and activities. A confidential reference from the applicant's current school is a standard requirement for all entry points.
