Entry at Year 7 (11+) & Year 9 (13+)

• If English is a candidate’s first language, parents can arrange for our Entrance Tests (English and Maths) to be taken at a British Council office in early January.
• Copies of specimen papers, including timings can be found here for Year 7 and Year 9 entry. The length of these tests depends on the year group, but it would be no more than one hour for English and one hour for Maths.
• If English is not a candidate’s first language, they would be required to take UKiset and arrange for the full School Profile to be sent to The Leys before early January.

If it is not possible for candidates to sit UKiset tests, or take any tests at a British Council office, please contact us to explore possible alternatives.

Candidates must be registered before attending the test.

Entry at Sixth Form (16+)

If a candidate is currently taking 8 or more GCSEs/iGCSEs they would not normally be required to take any additional tests.

If a candidate is not currently taking GCSEs/iGCSEs we would ask that they take UKiset, with the full School Profile to be sent to The Leys.

If it is not possible for candidates to sit UKiset tests please contact us to explore possible alternatives
