Entry to The Grove in Year 7
We invite all registered pupils for Year 7 to take our Entrance Exams in Maths and English in January.
This will be followed by an invitation to an Interview with a member of our Senior Staff. This allows us to get to know each child individually and may also include an assessment of reading, verbal comprehension skills and numerical abilities. At this stage we will also apply for a report from each student’s current school.
Once an offer has been made the date of a Taster day will be sent out to you, this is a great opportunity to experience life at our school.
