Merchant Taylors’ in Northwood is renowned for its scholarly atmosphere and exceptional facilities. For 2026 entry, the school continues to look for boys who are not just academically capable, but who possess a genuine curiosity about the world. Our tutoring is designed to foster this intellectual independence from the very first session.
A Multi-Dimensional Entry Process
We offer specialist 1-to-1 tutoring across all areas of the Merchant Taylors’ assessment:
-
Written Excellence: Candidates sit three 45-minute papers in English, Mathematics, and the unique Merchant Taylors’ General Paper. We help boys master the core curriculum while also preparing them for the General Paper’s focus on critical thinking and problem-solving.
-
The Quest Online Test: We provide familiarisation and practice for the 30-minute digital assessment (Maths and Verbal Reasoning) to ensure students are comfortable with the format.
-
Interview Preparation: For those invited to the final stage in January, we provide mock interviews that focus on communication skills and academic curiosity - the key traits the school values most.
