On accepting a place, parents are required to pay a deposit and sign a contract which outlines the standard terms and conditions under which their child is accepted as a student at Eltham College. Offer of a place is also subject to satisfactory references from the candidate’s current school.
Key Dates for 11+ Entry 2025
11+ Entry Assessment
External candidates for Year 7 take an entrance examination, sitting written papers in Maths and English, as well as a computer-adaptive verbal and non-verbal reasoning assessment. Every candidate will also have a one-to-one interview with a Senior member of teaching staff.
Once offers are made in February, we will invite offer holders to Eltham College for a morning or afternoon of lessons, which will give them an insight into what it is like to be a student here.
Students who are accepted for entry to Year 7 are able to proceed through to the Sixth Form without the need for further assessment. However all students wishing to study A levels are required to meet the minimum entry of six GCSE subjects at grade 7 or higher.
Scholarships and Bursaries
All candidates who sit the entrance examinations are automatically considered for an Academic Scholarship. There are further assessments for those children who pass the academic threshold and who wish to be considered for a Music, Sport, Art, Chess or Drama Scholarship.
As well as, Academic, Sport, Music, Art, Chess and Drama Scholarships at 11+ entry, we offer means-tested financial bursaries for families who may not be able to afford the fees. Visit the Scholarship and Bursaries section for more information.
