Set across expansive grounds near Guildford, St Catherine’s School, Bramley is a premier independent day and boarding school for girls. Renowned for its academic results, music, and sports, St Catherine’s combines digital testing with an active, on-site assessment morning.
The Selection Architecture
The 11+ admissions process takes place during the autumn term prior to entry:
-
Digital Adaptive Testing: Candidates complete the online ISEB Common Pre-Test, covering English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning.
-
The Holistic Assessment Morning: Candidates attend an interactive assessment session featuring a handwritten creative writing paper, a collaborative group task, a problem-solving exercise, and an individual interview. This allows assessors to observe team dynamics, communication skills, and practical creativity.
Our Approach
We prepare girls to excel across both digital adaptive platforms and handwritten creative components. Our specialised preparation builds digital exam technique while instilling the confidence needed to excel in group problem-solving and face-to-face interviews.
