Admissions Competitiveness & CEM Benchmark

How Competitive Is Entry?

Entry to Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls is highly competitive, with scores typically in the top 5% nationally.

While the school does not publish official CEM thresholds, aggregated outcomes and educator insight suggest that successful applicants typically achieve:

Indicative competitive range: 125–130.

Owl Tutors Competitiveness Index: 9.5 / 10 (our CEM age-standardised score).

Selectivity Tier: Tier 2

This classification places Haberdashers’ Aske’s School for Girls among the most academically competitive independent schools.

Schools do not publish official cut-off scores. The range and tier above are based on aggregated outcome patterns and educator insight, and are intended as indicative guidance rather than formal rankings.

What Does This Score Range Mean?

CEM scores are age-standardised, with:

  • 100 = national average
  • 115 = roughly top 15–20% nationally
  • 120 = roughly top 10%
  • 125+ = typically top 5% or higher

If competitive applicants are typically scoring in the 125–130 range, this suggests entry requires performance among the highest nationally.
