Hurstpierpoint College 13 Plus Pretest Assessment
Registered 13+ candidates will be asked to take the ISEB Common Pretest Exam in Year 6. The Pretest measures a student’s academic ability and covers Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning, English and Maths. The one-off test is fully age-standardised, to ensure no one candidate has an advantage over any other based on their age.
Prospective Hurstpierpoint College pupils will usually sit the Pretest at their Prep School.
Hurstpierpoint College Admissions Criteria
In order to apply for a school place in Year 9, students first need to take the ISEB Common Pretest. Once the pretest results are in, the College will contact the pupil’s current school to discuss the results and to look at their academic progress to date.

Once a place is offered at Hurst Senior School, parents or guardians are requested to pay a deposit of £1,000.
