Common Entrance
Students cover the ISEB (Independent Schools Examination Board) Common Entrance syllabus in preparation for transfer to future schools typically at 11 or 13 years old. Preparation for the 11+ examinations takes place in year 5 and in the Autumn Term of year 6. The 11+ Common Entrance examination is taken in the Spring Term of year 6, as are London Day School entrance examinations for entry at the age of 11 . We hope that all of our students stay with us until 16. However we are committed to helping every child achieve the right school for them taking into account their academic and non-academic abilities as well as ambitions and personality. To that end, all senior members of staff work extremely hard to ensure that our boys and girls are ready for 11+ exams should they choose to take them. Preparation for the 13+ Common Entrance examinations to Public Schools begins in Y6 and the examinations are taken in June of Y8. The school can advise parents on the choices available after Knightsbridge School to help them make informed decisions on the next step for their child’s education and development.
