Senior School Entrance Exam for entry 2024

As a student preparing for Senior School, continuing their learning journey at Bridgewater School will help them to develop a real sense of who they are and exactly what they can achieve.

All applicants to the Senior School are required to sit an Entrance Examination prior to being invited in for interview. The formal entrance procedure for transfer and entry into the Senior School for September 2024 will commence from Monday 6th November 2023 through to Friday 26th January 2024.

The tests will include a computer-based assessment in English and Maths together with a piece of free writing and an interview. These entrance procedures will provide us with age related results, standardised scores and a piece of free writing. All procedures are to be completed by Friday 26th January 2024, following which the results will then be collated and places offered by the beginning of March 2024.

If you would like to register your interest in your child sitting our entrance procedure for senior school, please download the registration form below and return to school. Each family will be contacted individually and the testing will take place each morning and afternoon between those dates highlighted and children grouped according to their primary schools.

We are delighted that you are considering Bridgewater for your senior years and, all being well, look forward to welcoming you next September.

Please note: as these are standardised and age-related tests, no preparation or revision is needed.
