3. Candidates will then set an interview, do a creative writing assessment and engage in group activities. This section is designed to allow the school to get to know the candidates.

1. ISEB Pre Test assesses your child’s skills in English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The exam focuses on problem solving, vocabulary and arithmetic skills
2. The creative writing paper assesses your child’s writing skills. Marks will be given for effective use of imagination, structure, purpose, organisation, coherence, sentence construction and punctuation.

No, Charterhouse School does not have a catchment area. Instead, entry is determined on 13+ test scores.

Charterhouse School offers a limited number of scholarships: Academic (The Foundation Scholarship), Art & Textiles, Performing Arts, Dance, Drama, Design Engineering (DE), Music and Sports.

You can apply for Year 10 entry.

The best way to prepare for 13 plus exams is to complete practice papers. This allows your child to understand the exam format, experience the questions first hard and master the skill of working under timed conditions. 

Our 13+ practice tests are carefully researched and regularly updated to align with any changes to the entrance exam requirements. Sparkling Minds Tuition practice papers are designed to challenge students to reflect the competitive demands of the real papers. They provide an accurate and effective preparation experience.

It is extremely important for your child to have a high understanding of the different maths and English topics that could come up. Make sure they are practising topics they struggle with to improve before completing countless practice papers, otherwise, they will not understand how to break down and answer certain questions. 

At  Sparkling Minds Tuition, we offer breakdowns explaining what your child specifically needs to focus on, detailed videos going through the topics with your child, multiple worksheets per topic to practice and, of course, practice papers.

In addition to the ISEB Common Pre-Test, Charterhouse requires school references and conducts interviews to assess character and suitability.
