How the test works
Newstead Wood School sets one multiple-choice paper. St Olave's and St Saviour's Grammar School uses two stages: a multiple-choice eligibility test in September, then written English and maths papers in November for the highest-scoring boys.
How places are given
Both schools offer places largely in order of score under their published admissions policies; St Olave's also has places with Christian faith priority. Check each policy for distance or local priority.
How to register and apply
Register with each school in the summer term of Year 5, and name the schools on your secondary application by 31 October.
