7+ Entry to City Junior School
7+ entry to City Junior School is through a two-stage process. The first stage, which takes place in the Autumn term of Year 2, is an assessment day, consisting of English and Maths tests, which are age-appropriate and based on the National Curriculum. The English test involves both comprehension and free writing, and the Maths test is made up of basic calculations and problem-solving. Following this, pupils are invited to interview for the second stage of the process; this day, which takes place early in the Spring term, also involves observation of the pupils by current staff, and problem-solving activities. References are then requested from the pupil’s current school, and offers are sent out shortly afterwards.
Bursaries to City Junior School
Bursaries are available to City Junior School at 7+ entry only for those who would otherwise not be able to afford the education offered. They are means-tested and must be applied for at the time of registration. Bursary application will include a home visit, and detailed guidance is available on the school website.
