Entrance Examinations
Places to study at Harris Westminster are offered on the basis of performance in subject-specific examinations. Prospective students take examinations in the January of the year they wish to begin their sixth form studies. Students take two examinations, chosen at the time of application, from their four subject choices.
There are some things to note:

It is not expected that additional content will need to be learned for the examinations beyond that which will have been covered in Year 10 and 11 - the questions are written by our teachers and are designed to test understanding and reasoning rather than factual knowledge. They are NOT based on any specific exam board questions.
