Further Information
Our Entrance Assessment tests skills in English and Mathematics and are age-appropriate. Coaching for the assessment is not necessary, in fact, we strongly discourage it. All tests are paper-based and set and marked by Grammar’s teaching staff.
Boys who perform well in the assessment will be invited back to the School to participate in an Activities Day, and potentially an interview. Offers to join the School for Form I in the following year, will be sent to successful candidates after the conclusion of the interview stage.
Boys from Sixth Class at St Ives and Edgecliff will progress to Form I at College Street unless the boy is thought unlikely to flourish at the Senior School.
