    “The Entrance Assessment consists of 5 parts. Maths, Reading, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning are multiple choice and are taken on school laptops, using the ISEB assessment. The final element is a hand-written piece of creative writing. A walk-through, with examples, is emailed to parents in the week before the Entrance Assessment”
