Entry at Year 7 (11+)
Applicants to The Leys should start the process one to two years ahead of the proposed year of entry.
Usually the process begins with a visit to one of our Open Mornings, Small Group Visits or a private visit, where you will be able to gain a sense of what is on offer at the School. The information below should act as a guide to the process of applying for a place, and further information can be provided by our admissions team.
