School Competitiveness Index

Selective School Entry Rankings Explained

All selective schools use assessments to gauge the academic ability of applicants, alongside formal interviews and a Headteacher’s report from their current school. Some schools are more competitive than others and although it is an imprecise science, we have used our data and understanding of the selective school market to outline where schools are placed in relation to selection level. These scores are based on the Selective School Entrance assessment, based on the CEM Test.

If you know your child’s current School Entrance Score from a CEM test please enter it. This will give you an indicative idea of the schools appropriate for your child’s current level. If your school is not selected it suggests that some areas of improvement may be required to attain the appropriate level. For more information and guidance please contact us.
