The above is an outline of the examination papers on the day of each school’s entrance exam day. Some of the schools require children to attend the school on an additional day during which they may be interviewed or otherwise assessed for their suitability. It is advisable to contact each school to find out their exact requirements.
If your child needs extra support in preparing for these examinations, please get in touch with our entrance exam experts. Paul Syrett and Christine McLaughlin will be happy to help. Please note that all tuition takes place at our Urmston tuition centre.
