Entry to St Paul’s at 7+

Entry to St Paul’s Prep School is selective: our assessment process is designed to identify boys who have a natural flair for learning and who will thrive on our education.

All applicants will be required to sit a written exam. Successful boys will be invited back for half-day group assessments, after which offers will be made. A reference will be sought from the Head of a boy’s current school. Boys are accepted to St Paul’s Prep School on the understanding that St Paul’s will be their first choice of senior school.

7+ Entry

Boys may be registered for St Paul’s Prep School from the February when they are in Year One. We admit approximately 72 boys at the 7+ entry point from a wide range of state and independent schools in and around London. 7+ pupils enter our Lower First Year, a year that acts as a period of settling in and adjusting to life in a large, fast moving prep school. The timetable allows the boys to spend most of their time in their own form room, ensuring a sense of routine and stability.

The application process for 7+ 2027 will open in mid February.
