11+ Admissions Process

Entrance Test & Interviews

St Augustine's Priory is part of the London 11+ Consortium of schools; we have an agreed and co-ordinated 11+assessment process. This selective process involves an online entrance test and a face-to-face interview. As part of the Consortium, we use a bespoke test that assesses creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and academic potential. 

The test is 100 minutes in total with a break in the middle. ​

​Candidates will either sit the assessment at St Augustine's Priory or at any one of the consortium schools to which they have applied. They can sit the test at their own school if their school is hosting it.They only need to sit the test once regardless of how many schools in the Consortium they decide to apply to.

How and when to apply for Entry to Year 7​

The deadline to register for the 11+ Consortium Assessment for September 2027 entry to Year 7 is Friday 6th November 2026. Candidates for Year 7 entry are therefore required to apply at the beginning of Year 6 or earlier to sit the online Consortium test that term (Year 6).  

We recommend that you attend an Open Event first before going into Year 6 so you know where you wish to register for a place in good time. You can book a visit (Open Event) via our 'Book a Visit' form.

You can register for a place at St Augustine's Priory via the link below (please note that there is a non-refundable registration administration fee of £150 (inc. VAT @ 20%):
