Entry by Early Pre-Testing for Year 9 Boarders

The Leys offers Year 6 pupils the opportunity to secure a Year 9 Boarding place, via ISEB Pre-Testing subject to continued satisfactory performance.

In addition to an online assessment, a report will be requested from the candidate’s current school.

Should a place be accepted, we will be in touch to arrange an interview with the Head and request a confidential report from your child’s current school in Year 8.

No further assessment will be required, unless you wish to apply for a Scholarship.
