Thank you for enquiring about entry to King Henry VIII School. We welcome applications from pupils of all ages with the most common entry points being listed below.

Admission to King Henry VIII School is by selection on academic merit. All children are required to sit one of the entrance assessments described below. A school reference will also be sought.

In September 2021, Bablake and King Henry VIII School will merge to bring together best practice and facilities from each school, offering a first-class independent education for 3 to 18 year olds.  We will maintain our commitment to providing an excellent education, outstanding co-curricular provision, and thoughtful, individual support alongside improved facilities and increased collaboration across age groups.

11+ and 12+ entry

This is for entry into Year 7 or Year 8. The examination process is similar at both ages. Pupils will be tested on Mathematics, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non Verbal Reasoning. The majority of pupils are tested on our Entrance Examination day in January, although we do accept some in-year admissions if there is space in year groups.
