Applications from Year 6 pupils for entry to Year 7 in the Senior School.

Pupils entering Claremont Fan Court School will be expected to demonstrate to the Head of Senior School that they are capable students academically and socially. Claremont Fan Court School affirms that development of character goes hand in hand with development of academics. Character is assessed by requesting a reference from the pupil's current school as well as asking each applicant to come into school after the tests have been completed, to talk with a senior member of staff about their interests, their school activities, the way they approach their studies and their good qualities.

As a guide for the assessment of academics, prospective pupils should be working towards achieving good level 4s or better in each of their KS2 tests.

The concepts tested within the Senior School examinations in English comprehension and maths are based on the KS2 National Curriculum. To further aid preparation, the school has produced a specimen mathematics paper and its mark scheme, both of which can be downloaded. Practice English and Verbal Reasoning papers are available commercially.
