Senior School Pathway
As part of the Mill Hill Education Group, our pupils benefit from our Group Senior School Pathway, which offers them the opportunity to receive conditional offers for 11+ places at one or our Group Senior Schools without sitting the standard entrance exams.
Offers will be based on a Head’s recommendation, considering academic suitability, character, and internal assessments, including standardised scores collected by the Prep Schools. This collaborative process ensures that each offer aligns with the pupil’s abilities and potential.
11+ Offers (Y7 Places): Issued in the Spring Term of Year 5 for entry to senior schools: Westbrook Hay, Abbot’s Hill, Cobham Hall, Heathfield, Kingshott, and Belmont, Mill Hill Prep.
