They can also take part in activities such as food technology, indoor fireworks and archery. Parents are also invited to come and meet the staff informally.

No, Cranleigh Preparatory School does not have a catchment area. Instead, entry is determined on 11+ test scores.

Cranleigh Prep School offers a limited number of Academic scholarships that are automatically awarded to the highest performers in the 11+ assessment, and Music scholarships.

You can apply for Year 9 entry.

The best way to prepare for 11 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 11+ practice tests are carefully researched and regularly updated to align with any changes to entrance exams 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 practicing 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.

Applicants may need to provide school reports, references, and attend an interview as part of the admission process.

Preparation involves practicing adaptive online tests and improving core skills in Mathematics, English, and Reasoning.
