• Our Entrance Exams cover what children learn at school (Key Stages) – there are no ‘tricks’.
• So for Year 6 students, the Exam covers Key Stage 2 (KS2) material, plus a few KS3 questions to stretch pupils.
• For In-Year students (existing Year 7, 8 or 9), the questions cover KS3 material a student is expected to know.
• Topic wise, the boys go through the following papers:
– English (approx. 2 hours) – covers creative writing, reading comprehensions, spelling & grammar etc
– Maths (approx. 2 hours) – one calculator paper and one non-calculator paper
– Basic Islamiyat (approx. 30 mins) – assessment of basic understanding. NB sometimes this is saved for Stage 2 of the recruitment process.
• If your son achieves the requisite 70%+ pass mark, Stage 2 of the recruitment process involves an interview with the Head & another Senior leader (Governor or SLT).
