Year 1 and Year 2

Candidates are invited for a half day classroom assessment where they will be asked to complete some Maths, Reading and Writing tasks.

Candidates are invited in for a full day, sitting English and Maths assessments prior to joining their cohort for lunch and two afternoon lessons.

Year 8 to Year 10

Candidates are invited to sit entrance exams in English and Maths and will be interviewed by the Headteacher.

The aim of our process is to identify potential as well as the ability to access the curriculum at the pace at which it is taught.  St Augustine’s Priory is looking for academically strong, well-rounded pupils with a genuine interest in education in the broadest sense of the word, with interests that stretch beyond the confines of the academic curriculum.  The school has strong traditions in music, drama, art, community activities and sport.  There are many extracurricular activities, all of which are important in developing a well-balanced, confident individual.

We will seek references from the candidate’s current school in all cases. All applicants and their parents meet with the Headteacher as part of our selection process.
