Lady Eleanor Holles School Entrance Guide

Abigail was quite simply an exceptional tutor. She really engaged with my daughter and massively improved her maths skills without putting stress on her. The sessions were really enjoyable. She was extremely easy and open to talk to and gave great advice. She was very communicative both in the sessions and out of them.

Admissions Competitiveness & CEM Benchmark

How Competitive Is Entry to Lady Eleanor Holles School?

Entry to Lady Eleanor Holles School is competitive, with scores typically in the top 15–20% nationally.

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

Indicative competitive range: 115–120.

Owl Tutors Competitiveness Index: 7.5 / 10 (our CEM age-standardised score).

Selectivity Tier: Tier 4

This classification places Lady Eleanor Holles School among the more 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Schools do not publish official cut-off scores.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 115–120 range, this suggests entry requires performance comfortably above national averages.
