13+ Common Entrance Tuition

The 13+ Common Entrance assesses a broad range of subjects, typically including English, mathematics and science, with additional subjects depending on the school. The standardised format provides consistency, but schools often apply their own expectations and grade thresholds. The process typically includes written examinations followed by interviews and further assessment where required. Schools assess both academic performance and overall suitability. We have extensive experience preparing students for Common Entrance, understanding both the academic demands and how different schools assess candidates.

The 13+ Common Entrance is highly competitive, particularly for leading independent schools. Many candidates come from established preparatory schools, with strong academic preparation and long-term planning already in place. With expectations set at a high level, consistent and well-structured preparation is essential to maximise success.

Our approach to 13+ preparation is highly personalised, reflecting both the breadth of subjects assessed and the expectations of each target school. We begin with a detailed assessment, followed by a structured programme aligned to academic goals and timelines. Preparation focuses on subject mastery, exam technique and confidence, alongside interview preparation where required. We work closely with families to ensure a clear and effective pathway to success.
