Due to Covid, Francis Holland School (NW1) have changed their admissions process for Year 7 Entry. The bespoke Cognitive Abilities test will be replaced by an online test called the ISEB Common Pretest.
This is to be taken by applicants at their current school or any of the Consortium schools they are registered with. The deadline for registration is in early November of the year preceding entry.
In addition to the Pretest, your daughter will be invited to the school to attend an interview. A reference from her current school will be requested. [1]
