The page’s words
“We assess Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning skills using the Quest Assessment platform. ... The tests are online and take approximately one hour ... A link to the Quest familiarisation website will be emailed to you as soon as you have registered your daughter. In addition, all applicants will also be asked to complete a 45-minute handwritten Creative Writing paper, before they come together in small groups to enjoy a teambuilding activity and a short group interview”
“There are three parts to the assessment for a Year 7 place at Farnborough Hill: a reference from your daughter’s current school, a meeting with the Headmistress and, finally, our entrance assessment day. ... If your daughter is hoping to join us in Year 7 in September 2027, she will take her Entrance Assessment on Monday 14 December 2026, with the registration deadline being Monday 2 November 2026.”
“Each year we offer a small number of deferred places to Year 6 pupils looking to join us in Year 9. If you would like to take this route, your daughter will need to be registered with us by the November deadline in her Year 6 and will sit her entrance assessments in December of Year 6. ... Your daughter’s place will be conditional on a final reference and school report from her current school that we will request during Year 8.”
