For children born between 1st September 2002 and 1st September 2003

The completed Registration form, together with the Registration fee, should please be sent to the Admissions Registrar.

The examination process:

All candidates undertake an interview, take part in a classroom experience and sit the entrance examination. We also apply for a confidential report from the candidate’s current school.

The interview takes place in two stages – parents will have the opportunity to meet with a senior member of staff and ask questions about life at Chigwell School and also tell us something about their child. Candidates are then interviewed separately. The whole process takes 30 minutes.

The classroom session is taken by our Year 3 form tutors and provides an informal opportunity for us to assess your child and for them to become familiar with the school.

The examination comprises papers in English, Arithmetic and Non-verbal reasoning. Details of the exam and specimen papers in English and Arithmetic will be sent out at the beginning of November. We do not send out further past papers or specimen papers for the Non-verbal reasoning paper.
